Mary, Queen of Scots

Mary, Queen of Scots

Länge: 50:06
Mary, Queen of Scots, returned to the news headlines when the rosary she carried to her execution in 1587, was recently stolen from Arundel Castle. It's the latest chapter in the enduring story of this highly romanticised figure.
Mary reigned over Scotland for just over 24 years between December 1542 until her forced abdication. Considered the legitimate sovereign of England by many Catholics, Mary was seen as a threat to Queen Elizabeth I. In this episode from our sibling podcast Not Just the Tudors, Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Professor Kate Williams about Mary's tragic life, her disastrous marriages and the plots against Elizabeth that resulted in her execution.

This is the best of them all.
Dan’s enthusiasm is infectious and there is always something interesting to listen to.
But please Dan...I know you want to be relevant and appealing to your American audience but you don’t need to say “ep” instead of episode and not everything is “super awesome”
Great Podcast. Highly recommended, keep up the great work.

Dan Snow makes easily one of the best podcasts out there, covering such a wide variety of historical events. Other podcasts come and go in my library but this one has remained. Subscribe!
One thing, “ep”?! Episode isn’t a long word, surely we don’t need to abbreviate that?

I usually like these pods however very disappointed with this episode, I was assuming it would be a balanced history of the Euros, however it was just a discussion about England, why not have a more balanced review, yes you did mention Scotland and Wales but in all honesty it was just a mention, poor for a history program. If you want to do it justice rename it England’s Euros.

I’ve gone through a lot of history podcasts - some are fleetingly fascinating, some consistently good. But Dan has a wonderful ability to deliver excellent podcasts consistently on all sorts of historical topics.
That is driven largely by excellent guests who normally have interesting books to sell, many of which I have gone on to purchase. Dan is the perfect host - let’s people talk and knows when to interject with the right questions.
I am astounded by the volume and consistency!

Great work Dan. He is prolific podcaster.
Brilliant podcast, love the TV channel, watch the A class submarine episode this morning.
I have been a follower (right term?) for 4 years.
Great variation in topics offered.
Could you do a Podcast on the David and Robert (Son) Muchart and the dark hill steelworks in the Forest of Dean. 18thC ignored inventors of Stainless steel and Tool Steel. “Lost”steelworks for 150 years.
Keep well and all the best

This podcast has zero waffling or prepod time killing. its straight to the subject.
Every single day we hear from experts ,historians, authors, diplomats etc about fascinating topics with measured professional analysis.
This pod could (does) engage both academics and regular history obsessives.
CANT BELIEVE ITS FREE.
thanks Dan and team.

Great podcast, eclectic mix of topics, many have opened my eyes to new areas of history and different takes on familiar topics. Yes there’s ads but nothing comes for free folks. As for the charges of left wing bias, I don’t buy that. On Israel Palestine there were both views represented and Dan allowed both to provide their take without challenge not just Yara Hawari.

Great history: annoyingly enthusiastic host

The history and the guests are usually excellent and really shine a new light on the history that is being discussed. Listened today about Joan of Arc and got new insights into the actual motives of the various players, especially resetting the roles of the Burgundians and the French Court in her rise and fall - and the much more minor role of the English (demolishing what most people think).
My main problem is that Dan Snow is so annoyingly enthusiastic and can dominate the conversation instead of allowing the guest to have centre stage. The hosts of “The Ancients” are much lower key and so I can listen to those podcasts without wishing the host would just shut up!

Too much advertising

The first three minutes of the podcast and four minutes in the middle of a 30 minute podcast are taken up by advertising. I found that too much.
The content however was excellent.

I only stumbled across the podcast a few months ago. I never really liked history and didn’t expect much. It’s now my go to podcast and never fails to deliver an interesting story. I thoroughly enjoyed the recent Bismarck episodes and listened to those twice. The old audio footage from those that lived it was utterly compelling, horrifying and moving.

Sinking of the Bismarck, my word what an account. Mr Snow surpassed himself. And the harrowing accounts of the participants. Five stars without hesitation.

A superb podcast fronted by Dan. Lots of interesting subjects.The experts bring alive history topics familiar and surprising.
I used to cherry pick the subjects that interested me the most, but now I devour it all. The enthusiasm of the experts lift it above some other podcasts. Cheers Dan and all your guests.

History hit is proof that History can be both popular and academic:this is intelligent ‘storytelling’
It’s also very much not the Dan Snow show. Dan is often more than happy to allow his guests to talk freely and with only the minimum of commentary or refection .

Excellent

Covers a range of different periods, topics and issues in a really neat and relaxed way which allows historians to give a succinct, 20 minute overview. Especially useful for discovering new parts of history and building an initial understanding from which to further explore.

Absolutely first-rate pod that provides a huge range of topics and perspectives. Great work, Dan.
The people complaining about the minor inconvenience of having to listen to some adverts should remember that they’re getting access to a staggering amount of top-class content for free.
Those whining about some kind of inherent anti-British bias need to grow up and stop being snowflakes - the business of history hinges on reinterpreting the past in light of the present. It shouldn’t be surprising that some of the less edifying acts and attitudes are questioned, but nor is it an attack on Britain or you.
Other accusations of bias on the back of one episode also seem to be wide of the mark. Historians (as people) naturally have a different perspectives and experiences that guide their work. History is not simply made up of objective fact - one of the jobs of a historian is to recognise these angles and balance them against other views.

The latest podcast about the history of Israel & Palestine is one of the most thought provoking things I’ve heard in years. Your podcasts and guests are always second to none but you really excelled yourself with this episode Dan. Absolutely love your show.
Also, to those complaining about too many ads, it’s pointed out in every episode that the entire catalog of podcasts is available ad free on historyhit tv, so maybe stop being such skinflints and expecting something for nothing!

Shame, shame on you Dan Snow.
I have been following your Podcasts for quite some time and always assumed you were knowledgable and. historically correct, but I was shocked to listen to your podcast tonight entitled Israel and Palestine. The fact that you never challenged Yara Hawaii reveals a true lack of understanding of historical accuracy and concept.People are fully entitled to say what they feel is correct but it has to be honest and correct and sadly thisPodcast was neither. Please withdraw this from your archive as your listeners have been so badly mislead.

I have been an avid listener to the pod since it’s start. Unfortunately the standard of the pod has dropped over time. The latest episode about the Palestinian Israeli conflict is an example of using the pod to give a voice to political views with no substantiating historical facts. For the pod to be a top source of historical information it should make sure it provides accurate historical information or at least provide context to its listeners when it discusses politics instead of history.

Too many ads
