History podcasts are booming
Why listening to stories about the past are a present pastime.
I f you think history is old hat, try getting a seat at the Royal Albert Hall on October 18th. The soirée at London’s most famous concert venue sold out in May. Some 5,000 people will enjoy a bit of Mozart and Beethoven; the big draw, however, is a pair of chatty historians.
The donnish duo, Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook , have each written a stack of books. Fame enough to fill the Royal Albert Hall comes from something else, though. Since its launch in 2020, their podcast, “The Rest is History”, has become the most subscribed-to podcast in Britain, guiding listeners from Herodotus to the fall of Saigon, by way of Lord Byron’s affair with his half-sister. A new series on the French revolution launched on July 29th, for those who cannot get enough of Paris during the Olympic games. The pair originally conceived of their podcast as an adjunct to book-writing, says Mr Holland. Now they have time for little else.
“The Rest Is History” is hardly alone. The hosts of “Empire”, a history podcast that has clocked over 30m downloads, recently sold out another big London venue, the Barbican, in just two days. “We’re the squarest rock stars you’ll ever meet,” jokes Anita Anand, one of the hosts, who says she has gained more fandom from the podcast than as a radio and TV host.
Professionals in the industry may scoff that plundering the past for stories is easy, or that listeners just hope to sound clever without reading books. But the speed with which history podcasts have grown suggests other factors are in play. Some people realise in their 30s that their formal education has left big gaps. Unlike, say, science, history does not require specialised knowledge. The shows also create a sense of community—and tap into ancient traditions of storytelling. For all these reasons history podcasts are enjoying a golden age.
Relatively speaking, that is. History will never be top of the pops, admits Mike Duncan, an American podcaster. Downloads for sports and entertainment fare, or jokey current-events shows such as “The Joe Rogan Experience”, remain far more popular. But history shows tend to sport a longer tail than competing fare. Not many listeners will want to dig up old episodes of news shows’ quick takes. But Mr Duncan’s podcast on Rome, which ended in 2012, still gets thousands of weekly downloads. “We’re more like a record album than a newspaper,” says Dan Carlin, a broadcaster, whose “Hardcore History” podcast throws off more profits from its archive than new episodes: “History is evergreen content.”
In America around 100m people listen to podcasts every week, according to Edison Research, a market-research firm. Their mean listening time, over an hour a day, has grown 450% in the past decade. Nearly as many 18- to 34-year-old Americans consume podcasts as watch TV . This has led to a proliferation in the ways that history can be sliced and the stories that can be told. For example, when King Kurus started his “Black History Buff” podcast in 2018, his was a lonely specialisation. Now he competes with half a dozen others exploring themes of Africa and the diaspora. “Dig”, created by four female historians, focuses on women and gender topics and is tailored as teaching material.
Dan Snow, a television presenter whose “History Hit” is a top-performing podcast in Britain, has said that one secret to success has been to exploit niches where “superfans” of particular kinds of stories lurk. (“History Hit” now has several offshoots, including histories of sex, the Tudors , medieval history and spooky stuff.) But entirely new history sub-genres have emerged in the podcast ecosphere. One that would have seemed improbable not long ago is comedy history. “Natalie Haynes Stands Up For The Classics”, a show by an English writer and broadcaster, joins her talent as a professional comedian with her passion for the ancient world. “The Dollop” in America and “You’re Dead To Me” by the BBC in Britain feature comedians riffing on historical subjects.
The expanding volume, variety and reach of podcasting is influencing the discipline of history itself. Neil MacGregor, who as director of the British Museum hosted the influential “History of the World in 100 Objects” podcast, which first aired in 2010, is a podcasting partisan. “It is so much easier to literally bring in different voices and views” than in writing, he says, noting that the style of podcasts is generally evolving away from grand narratives towards dialogue and debate. This creates a broader, more nuanced and tactile understanding of history. Quite literally: “Betwixt the Sheets” takes a frank look at sex through the ages, from the influence of war on intimate fashion apparel to how the Aztecs viewed homosexuality.
Many podcasters, including professional historians, point to a parallel evolution: their own capacity as storytellers keeps improving. “It’s just made us better at our craft,” says Elizabeth Masarik, one of the four “Dig” hosts. “We are constantly writing and constantly researching outside of the niche that each of our P h D s is in.”
All that is good for an audience that, Mr MacGregor notes, increasingly looks for companionship in podcasts because they spend ever more time in lonely pursuits, such as exercise, than in social forums. “Our audience weren’t necessarily interested in history,” concurs Mr Holland. “But I think lots of them like the sense of friendship.” The rest may be history, but history, at least, seems to be getting better. ■

Is it weird to care about the birthrate.
By Ross Douthat
Opinion Columnist
JD Vance is one of the first important politicians in the United States to directly take up one of the preoccupations of this newsletter — the ongoing collapse of birthrates across the developed world and the grim consequences of an aging, childless future — and it’s fair to say it isn’t going well so far. Not just his dig at “ childless cat ladies ” but also his past support for a system where parents cast votes on behalf of their children have been fodder for the Democratic Party’s newfound narrative about the Trump-Vance ticket: that it’s creepy, bizarre, weird .
Even when the cats are left out of it, alas, the problem of weirdness is a chronic one for pro-natalists. I have many years of experience talking to people (to you, dear readers, but also to friends and neighbors and relations) about the birth dearth, and I can promise that no matter how you frame the issue, pro-natalism often comes across as extremely strange.
This is not to concede that it is actually weird to care about the birthrate: Children are good, human beings are good, a prosperous future for the human race is good, and it’s absurd not to care about looming depopulation and all the social and economic problems that come trailing in its wake. Future generations (to the extent that they exist!) will find it much, much stranger that so many people barely noticed this issue or dismissed it than that a Republican vice-presidential candidate once floated giving children political representation through their parents.
But if you are a pro-natalist, you still have to understand the reasons an aura of weirdness hangs over the idea.
There are the historical associations with white racial panic — wildly misapplied in the case of Vance (whose wife is the daughter of Indian immigrants), but certainly you can find racist pro-natalists on the far-right fringe. There is the general American impulse to separate the realms of intimate life and individual choice from politics of any kind. (Indeed, much of what I’m saying here applies more in America than elsewhere — natalism seems less weird in other parts of the world — but American pre-eminence means that our habits of mind influence the entire planet.)
There is the liberal resistance to any big idea that seems to cast doubt on elements of the sexual revolution. The idea of freedom from procreation as a hard-won feminist liberty, especially, means that any talk about increasing birthrates instantly evokes “Handmaid’s Tale” anxieties about patriarchal coercion. (Recall that in Margaret Atwood’s novel a birthrate collapse is the engine of the totalitarian takeover.)
