Goalhanger, behind all of The Rest Is… podcasts, have a simple but effective formula for success: just bring together two acclaimed experts to provide their insights and analysis.
Their latest series, which launched this week, brings together historians David Olusoga and Sarah Churchwell. In each episode, they look at a different event and explore what it must have been like to have been there. But instead of looking at these events through the perspective of leaders and royalty, this series looks specifically through the eyes of everyday individuals who experienced the consequences of these events directly. Their first episode looks at a terrorist attack that took place in New York all the way back in 1916.
