  • Interview Episode: Dr. Ian Stewart
    Apr 9 2025

    This episode is a long conversation I have been meaning to record and get out to you for a while but due to scheduling conflicts it has been pretty hard for Dr. Ian Stewart and I to meet up. In our interview we discuss some of the content of his new book The Celts: A Modern History which outlines the rise of Celtic nationalism and ideas associated with it in the 1800s. We also discuss some more modern feelings towards the Celts. Get his new book in the link below.

  • Holiday Special: St. Patrick
    Mar 18 2025

    Today’s episode is a rather impromptu episode I got the inspiration to do early in the morning. If this episode does not release on St. Patrick’s Day for you, I apologize I should have thought of this sooner. Today’s episode will briefly detail the life of St. Patrick. With much left out for a later episode I hope today’s episode will shed some light on who St. Patrick was as a person and give you a deeper understanding and appreciation for the celebration of St. Patrick. Happy St. Patrick’s Day, stay safe and have fun!

  • Episode 16: Hannibal's Crossing
    Feb 28 2025

    This episode begins the series on the Second Punic War. After a re-cap of the interim period between the First and Second Punic Wars, I discuss the beginning of one of the Ancient World’s most famous generals, Hannibal. Following Hannibal’s rise to power in the 3rd Century BC, the Carthaginian general executed one of the things that has made him one of the most famous generals of all time, his crossing of the Alps into Italy. Within this narrative is a discussion of how our friends, the Celts, are involved in this conflict. Listen now if you want to learn more!

Fresh visions of Celtic history

Brief but recommended podcasts. Celtic history has been written and re-written from many perspectives, some suspect. This author provides honest, clear visions of Celtic history that I find refreshing; for example, he makes a clear case for a distinct Celt-type coined as Hallstatt Celts. Furthermore, the Celtic language(s) are among the few traces of evidence we have about Celtic history – to understand the linguistic nuances and primary sources, we gain a more solid foundation of knowledge. Finally, the author is systematic and thorough, and his analyses are well-cited.
I look forward to his following podcasts in this series.
