Hi guys, I am a newcomer to these forums (long-time lurker though),
and I just wanted to mention a project that I've been working on for the
past few weeks that I think might interest a lot of the history buffs
in here. I also posted it in the ancient Meditteranean section of the forums (since that's where my narrative is now) but since this will change soon I thought I would also make a mention on the general history forums!
So...I recently started a podcast! It's all free, I'm not asking for any money, it's just a hobby on
my part, which is why I'm posting it here for those who think it might
be their cup of tea. It's called "The History of Exploration Podcast"
and the idea is to look at the great voyages of exploration throughout
history, starting with ancient explorers, the vikings, Marco Polo, the
great age of European exploration, and hopefully (when I get there)
finishing up with the modern antarctic explorers.
For reference's sake, I have a Masters' degree in history, so I do have a
fair bit of academic background in the subject, although I did not
specifically write my thesis on exploration.
I have 4 episodes out so far, and will release a 5th one around late April. The podcast is available on iTunes (
https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-history-of-exploration/id1092666716?mt=2) Stitcher (
http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=85419&refid=stpr) or at the podcast website on
http://historyofexploration.net
I also have a Facebook page where I interact with my listeners and post
other content (maps, images, etc.) that I can't easily convey in an
audio format. You can find it at

So, if you think it might interest you, please give it a listen, and
send me feedback or any constructive criticism you might have! I love
hearing from my audience, and I know how knowledgeable you guys all are
about history.
