Podcast featuring Adrian Goldsworthy

[Prufrock]

The other night I went down an internet rabbit hole and ended up happening upon a podcast by a chap called Dan Snow, who was interviewing Adrian Goldsworthy. I'd never listened to a podcast before, but as I do quite like Adrian Goldsworthy, I decided I'd break my duck and give Dan Snow's effort a chance. It turned out to be excellent, and well worth the 50 minutes or so the interview took.

I may even tentatively search out a few more, but much depends on being able to wrestle the iPad away from the kids - a feat technically possible but, at most times of the day or night, highly unlikely!

Are there any podcasts that members here would recommend?

Karwansaray does some interesting topics. Look here.

Thanks for that, Justin.

Was it the TV historian Dan Snow or just someone else of the same name?

Dan Snow is a main channel TV history presenter, specialising in military history.  If Karwansaray have got him on board, they are serious about their podcasting.

Yes it's TV's Dan Snow - though this isn't a Karwansaray (sp?) podcast, it looks like it's Dan's own - "Dan Snow's History Hit", eg here:

Thanks Richard.  I've looked at some of Dan's stuff on his blog (about Vikings in the baltic) and he does get good access .

So, Aaron, plenty of chance to rectify your non-acquaintance with Mr Snow

He did a good job in the one I listened too, so it's not outside the realms of possibility!
