This is an interesting article. I'm curious how many people have gone the crowdfunding route to raise funds to produce a podcast?
Hello, H-Podcasters!
As you update your syllabi for the fall, don't forget the Academic Podcast Roundup as a resource for course content. We just added a new Anthropology category with The Familiar Strange, a podcast about doing anthropology, and changed the Religion category to Secularism & Religion with New Books in Secularism.
Are there other quality academic podcasts we're missing? Could our categories use an update? Submit them to the network as a link, and we'll make sure they get into the roundup.
(To submit to the Roundup, log into the H-Net Commons, head over to H-Podcast, and click on
Here's a useful link for those of you interested in hearing podcast content from museums (art, science, natural history, and other), or if you are working in a museum and want to see what others are making. Hannah Herthmon (of the Museums in Strange Places podcast) compiled and shared the list here: https://hhethmon.com/2018/02/08/every-museum-podcast-in-one-big-list/
Bonus points for including non-English-language podcasts! Now I wish someone would make a list like this for libraries and archives.

Hi everyone,
I am writing to invite you to participate in an interactive oral history session at the 2018 American Historical Association Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. The Oral History Jukebox Workshop will take place on Saturday, January 6, 2018, 3:30-5:30 p.m. in the Omni Shoreham, Palladian Ballroom.
The Jukebox is an open, informal exchange where oral historians of all experience levels and backgrounds come together to listen and learn. This workshop will turn an open ear to the granularity of oral history recordings, searching the medium for key insights into the field.

Good Monday morning, everyone!
Rick Mikulski of H-Education has posted a query seeking podcasts on the history of education. If you have any suggestions in addition to the ones he cites, please post them, and I will use the list to create a new History of Education category on the Academic Podcast Roundup. I include the full text of Rick's post below.
All best,

Dear Colleagues:
Episode 96 is now live!
Episode 96: Louis XIV’s Absolutism and the “Affair of the Poisons”
Host: Christopher Rose, Department of History
Guest: Julia Gossard, Assistant Professor of History, Utah State University
Satanic masses. Child sacrifice. Renegade priests who deal in love potions and black magics. And a secret tribunal set up to weed out the unholy members of nobility who use them, all desperate to get close to an asbolute monarch who keeps the entire nation under his thumb. It’s not the subject of Dan Brown’s latest book, it’s something that really happened in 17th century France at the
Hi friends!
Some of you probably already know that The History Buffs Podcast is now DIG: A History Podcast. We started rebranding over the summer (because we're trying to divorce ourselves from the Hobby Historians who don't like our critical thinking / analysis episodes, which the "buffs" name apparently inspired LOL). We're still doing whatever stories strike our fancy, though now organized into mini series - four episodes organized around a single theme (the first one is SEX!) released over four weeks in a row, with a brief 1-2 week break between series.
We launched a series on Sunday -
After an abbreviated 5th season, 15 Minute History is back for season 6 with new episodes, starting today!
Episode 95: The Impossible Presidency
Over the past two and a half centuries, the expectations placed upon the office of the President have changed and evolved with each individual charged with holding the position. From George Washington to Barack Obama, each occupant has left his mark on the office. However, since WWII, the occupant of America’s highest office has aspired to do more and more, but seems to have accomplished less and less. Have the expectations placed upon the office
