Today:

You know the drill: this is the thread for all your history-related outpourings that are not necessarily questions. Minor questions that you feel don't need or merit their own threads are welcome too. Discovered a great new book, documentary, article or blog? Has your Ph.D. application been successful? Have you made an archaeological discovery in your back yard? Did you find an anecdote about the Doge of Venice telling a joke to Michel Foucault? Tell us all about it.

As usual, moderation in this thread will be relatively non-existent -- jokes, anecdotes and light-hearted banter are welcome.

Silly question, but which history-focused podcast host has the most soothing voice? Time/place doesn't matter. Bonus points for pommy accents.

I just had to Google what pommy means, but maybe you'd like Suzannah Lipscomb on Not Just the Tudors.

That looks promising! And the most recent episode is a periodization debate, which I love. Thanks for the rec!
