Andy Zaltzman and his friends talk about history for half an hour

Andy Zaltzman is a comedian who you will either love or not, and you will know it almost right away. He has a skill with words and language I’m personally quite a fan of. Hosting a conversation about three different historical objects in each episode you get an amazing slice of history well worth the listen.

There is a language warning on each episode but I honestly didn’t notice the offending words and plan to share these episodes with my nearly 12 year old.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
