Podcaster Q&A

Tell us about yourself – what is your background?

We are both historians - our expertise covers both ancient and modern history. We combine our academic experience with publishing books that have a historical focus for the general public. Our love of history extends to our street tours in Madrid (Spain), where we bring the past to life.

Why did you get into podcasting?

We believe podcasting is a democratic way of sharing ideas. Everyone has a voice. The aural space is intelectually stimulating.

How did the idea for the show come about?

We were in a park ten years ago and one of us asked the other 'What about doing a podcast?' and we haven't looked back.

What do you hope listeners take from the show?

Not the piss. And that enjoying culture is something fun, and that it should never be consumed too dryly.

What's been the biggest challenge for you?

Finding suitable places that capture the essence of a live and dynamic space, without losing audio fidelity, is sometimes a challenge. When it works, it works beautifully. For all those other times, we have our studio.

How can your listeners support your show?

By tuning in, giving us a like and a review and on our Patreon page.

Any future plans that you'd like to share?

We are in the process of setting up our own publishing company and the podcast will definitely feature heavily in this new adventure.

Anything else you'd like to share?

We love collaborating with other podcasters and regular listeners so if you are interested, get in touch!
