    Peninsular War: Cintra
    Sep 8 2024

    The popular Peninsular War series returns with an instalment dedicated to the deeply controversial convention of Cintra. Josh Provan joins me to chat about why this was ridiculed at home in the UK and abroad, why it was also necessary 48 hours after Wellesley's victory at Vimeiro, and how the inquiry into its signing unfolded.

The 'In Our Time' of the Napoleonic era

A range of viewpoints on a range of topics, excellent. Accessible while not afraid to be academic.

Facilitating discussion!

This really was a first class discussion! I learned a lot of new things about a subject I thought I was already well read on. I really hope this series gets made! As such, I've just subscribed to the mailing list!

History podcast that wears its heart on its sleeve

Zack White runs this podcast about the Napoleonic era, but also somehow about too many things to mention. In one episode, he may be drawing out a guest's insights about detailed statistics of troops in Portugal, or in another, the life stories of women who created the glamorous salons which formed part of the political life of the age. It might be a knock down drag out contest for best Napoleonic film (for an academic value of knock down drag out, this pod is one of the politest I have ever heard), or a little more seriously, a whole month dedicated to one broad theme, like Napoleon's marshals. If you'd like an unhurried and thorough podcast on the history of the years between 1789 and 1815, usually but not always in Europe, this is for you.

Interesting but.

I’ve been interested in the Napoleonic Wars for 50 years. There is very good content here but it desperately needs editing. Podcasts are often informal, like a chat with friends, but there are limits when you are a non participating listener.
