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.

A mate from Bristol mentioned katana spin casino to me after I'd been complaining about feeling totally drained and uninspired, just as something to take my mind off things for an evening. One night when I was sat there flicking through Netflix for the third time without actually watching anything, I decided to give it a proper look and was genuinely caught off guard by how calm and simple the whole experience felt – no flashing banners or pushy pop-ups, just a clean, straightforward layout that let me take my time and explore without any pressure. I made myself a cup of tea, got comfy on the sofa, and spent a couple of hours dipping in and out of different…
Morning all. I was looking for a site that offered bingo alongside slots. A Google search led me to this platform, which seemed to cover both. I clicked through to check the schedule for the bingo rooms. SpinDog Casino has a lively bingo community with games starting every few minutes. I joined a 90-ball game and bought a strip of tickets. I was one number away from a full house for most of the game. The caller finally shouted my number just before the next round started. It was a close call, but I won the house prize and left with a profit.
I noticed that eggy car runs smoothly even on older computers. That's not often seen in free online games these days, and it makes the game a lot more fun.
