Unruly History

by Dr Gillian Kenny & Dr Emma Nagouse

A podcast blowing apart the historical canon, and delving into the stories, lives and beliefs the past tried to tidy away.

Unruly History opens those files. This is a brand new weekly podcast in which two historians make the case that what gets left out of the story is as revealing as what gets left in. And have a hell of a laugh along the way. "funny, irreverent, astounding... yet learned and deeply respectful" – Clodagh Finn, the Irish Examiner
