History Podcasts
Podcasts are a great way to digest interesting stuff while doing other things at the same time. Walking, painting, cleaning, and even filling up sleepless nights: all great times to listen to a podcast. I enjoy art, history, blogging and small business podcasts. Last week I shared my favourite art podcasts. Below I list my favourite history podcasts. Please add your favourites in the comments below!

History Extra Podcast

The podcasts that goes with the magazine but just as good on its own. Lots of topics, interesting and varied.
Historical Royal Palaces Talks and Lectures
www.historicroyalpalaces.libsyn.com
Wonderful and often well known historians talk about the royals and their culture. I really enjoyed Tracy Borman talking about Thomas Cromwell for example. Or a discussion about sacred music in Henry VIII’s court, but there is more modern stuff as well.
