Wishing everyone a very happy 2026!

We will also be launching a newsletter in the new year! To sign up, visit the website and subscribe: www.euroreviewhistory.com

The new European Review of History website is here! It’s been designed to be both a practical tool for early career researchers, with blogs answering common academic questions, and a home for our community with more lighthearted history content. Want to contribute a post or idea? Get in touch!

It as a real pleasure to chat about podcasting and theatre history with @rubyrutter.bsky.social and a privilege to be in such illustrious company in this series about history and entertainment. #theatre #theatrehistory #podcast #history #entertainment

The final episode of our History & Entertainment series is out now! Philip Rowe, host of The History of European Theatre Podcast, joins us to talk theatre from ancient Greece to Shakespeare, what performances meant to audiences, and how podcasting fuels passion and curiosity. @thoetp.bsky.social

🎙️ New episode! How do you dramatise a past full of silences? Playwright Dr Stephen Hornby discusses writing queer histories for stage and screen, archival absences, anachronism, authenticity (its limits) + why theatre is uniquely equipped to tell disruptive, emotionally resonant historical stories.

🎙️ New podcast episode! This week we’re joined by @hmaloigne.bsky.social to talk archaeology on screen. From Indiana Jones to The Dig, archaeologists are often portrayed as heroic adventurers. But what do these depictions really tell us about archaeology? And what do they leave out?

🎙️ New episode! This week Dr Katie Turner explores the complex — sometimes contentious — world of “Jesus films”. Why does Jesus on screen so often look like a Hollywood leading man? And how have films shaped our imagination of the biblical world more than scholarship ever could?

🎙️ New episode of the ERH Podcast! This week, Maxime Durand, Historical Researcher + Production Coordinator at Ubisoft Montréal, talks about the fascinating relationship between history, gaming, and storytelling in his work on the Assassin’s Creed games #AssassinsCreed #history #digitalhumanities

Have you listened to our latest podcast episode yet? Dr Oliver Coulson (who’s also responsible for these fab cartoons) discusses humour in Medieval England. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/e...

🎙️ Episode 1 of S2 of The European Review of History Podcast is now live! Dr Oliver Coulson talks humour in the medieval period, + of course we had to cover medieval illuminators’ love of a phallus joke… Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts: tinyurl.com/bdet47uu

🎙️ The European Review Podcast returns this Friday! This season, we’re exploring History and Entertainment — how the past has made us laugh, cry, and think. Ep 1 features Dr Oliver Coulson on humour in medieval religious material culture. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. #podcast #history
