The History Syndicate Podcast
The History Syndicate Podcast is to bring together those with a common interest in history. It is to build a community for anyone to discuss everything and anything history.
Whether your research is part of an academic scholarly debate, a museum exhibition, an historical project or personal family history, the syndicate wants to hear and share it with the world.
So much work, time and effort placed into discovering, re-evaluating or add to historical knowledge often goes unsaid, unpublished and unheard. It is the syndicate’s desire to provide a relaxed conversational forum where all have equal opportunity to present their knowledge and hard work.
