The Aldi Roman Empire (The Byzantines)
When I say "Byzantine Empire", you say "The what empire?" But if I said "The Empire which is like the Aldi version of the Roman Empire" you say "Oooooh, like the Roman Empire but with random stuff in it that is vaguely familiar". Sadly, much of Byzantine history is overlooked in popular culture and thus many of you likely know very little about it. A great shame. So, to break this bleak cycle of ignorance, I've engaged some help! Join me and special guest, the host of the Anthology of Heroes Podcast, the electric Elliot Gates, as we chat over the gist of the Roman Empire 2.0 - The Byzantines. Check out the Anthology of Heroes here anthologyofheroespodcast.com This episode was produced by Chris Parker, researched by special guest Elliot Gates, and the Modern Gistory theme music was written and recorded by Ella Dwyer.

War in the Pacific
In 1939, Germany, growing a little tired of peace, decided to head to Poland to start a little bit of neighbourhood mischief. I imagine you know the rest of that story. Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Japan too was looking for a good time and started its search in China before it quickly kicked on all over the Pacific. This episode is all about that 'kick on' which went on to become known as the War in the Pacific. Join me and special guest, the host of the History Files Podcast (formerly HSC History Podcast), the indefatigable Blake Hamilton, as we island hop and toredo our way across the Pacific during the Second World War. This episode was produced by Chris Parker, researched by special guest Blake Hamilton, and the Modern Gistory theme music was written and recorded by Ella Dwyer.

Napoleon Bonaparte
By far the longest episode we've done yet! I considered cutting it shorter but, as it turns out (and at no great surprise), there's nothing about Napoleon Bonaparte's life that is uninteresting enough to be cut! One of the most recognisable names (and outfits) of all history, I was not brave enough to take on the gist of Napoleon Bonaparte alone. So I'm joined, all the way from the Emerald Isle, by the brilliant (soon to be Doctor) Arron Keegan! So, stick around and join us as we blow the top of Europe's worst kept secret - Napoleon Bonaparte! This episode was produced by Chris Parker, researched by special guest Arron Keegan, and the Modern Gistory theme music was written and recorded by Ella Dwyer.
