Couldn't imagine why anyone could give this podcast less than the maximum stars. It's incredibly informative, well-researched, and a valuable source of British History so far.

I am learning so much and enjoying it so well.

Description

The BHP is a chronological retelling of the history of Britain with a particular focus upon the lives of the people. You won’t find a dry recounting of dates and battles here, but instead you’ll learn about who these people were and how their desires, fears, and flaws shaped the scope of this island at the edge of the world. And some of those desires are downright scandalous.
