Dirk Hoffmann-Becking
History of the Germans
The podcast that does what it says on the tin: a narrative history of the German people that starts in the year 919 AD and hopes to get all the way to 1991. Episodes are 25-35 min long and drop on Thursday mornings. As Gregory of Tours (539-594) said: "A great many things keep happening, some good, some bad" .
The show is now entering its 8th season. So far we have covered:
The Ottonian Emperors (Ep. 1- 21)
- Henry the Fowler (Ep. 1)
- Otto I (Ep. 2-8)
- Otto II (Ep.9-11)
- Otto II (Ep. 11-14)
- Henry II (ep. 15-17)
- Germany in the Year 1000 (ep. 18-21)
