The History Faculty (www.thehistoryfaculty.com) is bringing together leading university lecturers from across the UK to build a library of authoritative and accessible study guides for history teachers and students, and those who just love history. All our podcasts are completely free to download. There are no catches. They are MP4 (video) and MP3 (audio) files that can be played on any computer, iPod or other portable device. Each podcast consists of a 30 minute lecture that presents a clearly structured overview of the theme it addresses, giving you the up-to-date perspective of an expert, delivered in an accessible and engaging manner.
