HFM 160 | Series Finale: The Final Episode of History in Five Minutes

Welcome to the end, my friends! I am powering down History in Five Minutes because I have launched a new and better show called History Unplugged.����You can��subscribe to the show on iTunes��or��Android

Here’s an overview of History Unplugged: Every Tuesday through Friday I release a short episode of 5-10 minutes in length. It’s basically the same thing you’ve come to know and love (0r hate) from History in Five Minutes.

Every Monday I release a longform interview with a book author, history podcaster, or historical consultant from a TV show.

There are two sorts of episodes that we feature on��the��History Unplugged��podcast: the call-in show and author interviews.

The Call-In Show

The first sort of episode is the weekday where a listener like you can ask me anything. What did the Vikings eat? What was it like to be a Turkish sultan with 4 wives and multiple concubines? If you were sent back in time with your current knowledge, how would you conquer the Roman Empire?

If you would like to send me a question to answer on the show, you can do so one of two ways.��The first is to email us at info [@] historyonthenet.com.��The second is to leave a voice mail.

Please keep it to about a minute long, be polite, and an all-around cool laddie or lass.��Here are the full submission guidelines.

 

Interviews

The second��sort of episode on our podcast is the long form interview��(40 minutes ��� 1 hour) with top history book authors. These authors have written about everything���and I mean��everything���including��gruff World War II generals who flew with airmen on bombing raids, a war horse who gained the rank of sergeant, and presidents who gave their best speeches while drunk.

I sit down with them and go��in-depth��on their topics. So far I���ve been blown away by the stories I���ve heard.

Here are some of our guests that have been or will be featured on the show.

Robin Hutton, author of��Sgt. Reckless, America���s War Horse
