This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!

This week we’re chatting education: what did schooling look like in Ancient Greece and Rome? What has corporal punishment looked like in schools through history? And how has the concept of the ‘school meal’ evolved over time?

Elsewhere, why did pirates pick hooks for hands above all other options?! We think we have the answer, but if you’ve got anything to add, you know what to do: [email protected]

This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!

We are truly honoured this week to be joined by one of our favourite historians in the world; it’s German-British author, who penned of one of Elis’ favourite ever books (Beyond the Wall: East Germany, 1949–1990), it’s Katja Hoyer!

Katja is here to discuss her brand new book ‘Weimar: Life on the Edge of Catastrophe’ which details the collapse of German democracy as the Nazi’s tighten their grip on power.

Elsewhere, is taking a hot air balloon to the North Pole a good idea? We’re going with no. And if you’ve ever asked a historian if they’ve heard of Samuel Pepys, please email in: [email protected]

Katja’s new book is out now and we can’t recommend it enough, you can get it here: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/459779/weimar-by-hoyer-katja/9780241681244
