There is a surprising amount of humour in our next @HistoryHit doc, despite being about warfare…& quite a lot of it comes from @MarcKissel! @RabbitIslandPro

Thanks for sharing @KaraCooney - wish I’d stumbled across this prior to our Caesar doc on @HistoryHit - very glad we chose 2 academics with very different takes on Caesar access.historyhit.com/videos… @RabbitIslandPro
‘The actual number of casualties Caesar left in his wake is of course unknowable. But a million, give or take, would not be hyperbolic.’ Michael Kulikowski on a new translation of the Gallic Wars: lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v42/n12/…

Stop refreshing the news and watch my @HistoryHit doc, ok. It’s about a woman who was very good at being in charge of stuff and got less than no recognition for it. THANK GOD THAT’S CHANGED, EH? @KaraCooney @monznomad @RabbitIslandPro tv.historyhit.com/watch/3731…
Uploading the final version of my next @HistoryHit doc on #Hatshepsut & just realised yesterday was #InternationalPronounsDay. Incredibly apt considering how important pronouns are in her story! Should be launching next week, catch up with my previous doc: tv.historyhit.com/watch/3713…

Episode 10! Yaba, the first Black African woman to study @Kings_College seems determined to rebel against the podcast. And Ellie & Mark are oddly enjoying her derailing the show. Listen to the latest ep of this literary guessing game... LINK IN BIO 🖤 #pokingbooks
