Ten New (Launched in 2018) History Podcasts Worth a Listen

Image
I don’t just like history podcasts, I love them and the problem with that is that I am sometimes left feeling like Loren Allred in the Greatest Showman because my podcast feed is never enough. As a result I find that top lists or iTunes recommendations are not all that helpful as I have almost certainly listened to every show on the list. As a result I often find that I am searching through Facebook and Twitter for new shows to stream. It is this effort that has yielded my list below. They are new shows, launched exclusively in the year 2018, that I have enjoyed. It can be scary starting to listen to a new show as you fear the inevitable pod-fading so as I love the below shows it is my hope that promoting them just might help drive a little traffic their way so that they can keep producing excellent content for me to enjoy for free. So, without further adieu, my favorite history podcasts that were launched in 2018 (in no particular order). 10: History of the Copts Podcast
