The Not-So-Romantic Podcast


The Not-So-Romantic Podcast is my brand new (how long can you say brand new for?) venture into the podcasting world. Each podcast takes a look at the Not-So-Romantic topics from history and whatever else takes my fancy.


The podcast focusses on things like, weird medieval events, not-so-romantic people, animals, the worst jobs in history and similar topics – basically the not-so-romantic side of history and other subjects, written and designed for the whole family to enjoy listening to!

why a podcast?

Oh, you’re still here? Okay then.

Of course, the big problem is why a podcast? Especially when 50% of the worlds population seems to have one.

I wanted to make a podcast for several reasons.

  • I want to make learning fun for everyone and want to show that history goes way beyond what is learnt in school
  • To encourage people to be constantly curious
  • I enjoy researching weird and wonderful topics from history
  • And finally, I enjoy the sound of my own voice (this is obviously a joke)
