We Are History, the less-than-serious history podcast, is teaming up with acclaimed podcast studio Podmasters – home of critically-acclaimed shows Doomsday Watch, The Bunker and Oh God What Now? – to reach an even bigger audience as part of the Podmasters family.
Written and presented by comedian Angela Barnes (Live at the Apollo, The News Quiz) and author and comedy writer John O’Farrell (Spitting Image, Things Can Only Get Better), We Are History tells scarcely-believable-but-true tales from the past with wit, pace and an eye for weird detail. The podcast has already won a formidable following and over a million downloads.
Co-Host John O’Farrell says: “We are really excited about teaming up with Podmasters to take We Are History to the next level. They bring everything to this production that Angela and I do not have, namely competence, professionalism and a decent wifi connection. I feel like our funny look at the past now has a great future…”
Co-Host Angela Barnes adds: "We are beyond chuffed. It’s frankly a relief to be in the hands of people who know what they are doing. It should smarten us up a bit and bring this pair of history nerds right into the 21st century.”
We Are History is already six series strong. In each episode Angela and John unravel and laugh at fascinating and downright bizarre moments in history, from Victorian anti-vaxxers to why Mussolini was a rubbish war leader. The entire back catalogue will be available from Podmasters and include topics as broad as Spy Pigeons, the Bristol Bus Boycott of 1968 and 17th Century Scottish witches.
Podmasters Lead Producer Anne-Marie Luff says: “I’m thrilled to welcome Angela and John into the Podmasters family. We Are History has all the intelligence, wit and warmth we revel in and the podcast is a natural fit for us. We can’t wait to bring it to an even wider audience.”
Anne-Marie recently joined Podmasters after producing new content for over ten years at BBC Radio 4 and 4 Extra.
We Are History will relaunch with ten new episodes in May 2023 on all platforms. While not quite as world-changing as the Black Death, it will be slightly funnier.

This tool is great for creating images sin fondo, making them look clean, professional, and ready to use in any project.
The eye shape detector is great for understanding eye features and improving makeup styles.
That’s a cool move sounds like We Are History is about to reach a whole new level with that partnership. On a different note, when I’m taking a break from podcasts, I’ve been playing Rocket Goal lately—it’s surprisingly addictive. Super simple but really fun and relaxing once you get into it.
Really interesting update, it’s great to see how Podmasters is bringing in established shows like We Are History and helping them reach a wider audience. The podcast already had a strong following and over a million downloads, so this kind of partnership feels like a natural step to grow even more . I also like how it keeps that mix of humour and history, makes it more engaging compared to typical formats. Balancing time to keep up with content like this alongside studies or work can get a bit hectic though, so something like Assignment Help Cambridge from rapid assignment help can make things a bit easier without too much stress. I didn’t realise sharks moving between deep ocean and reefs basically…
I love how "We Are History" dives into past events! It reminds me of playing Drift Boss when I'm trying to master skills—it’s all about learning from past mistakes! Excited for this partnership!
