EXplaining History

In our first live episode hosted by Digital Humanities at the University of Exeter, we get a chance to sit down with Dr Alun Withey, Senior Lecturer in the History of Medicine and (sometimes) historical consultant, presenter, and Tik Tok sensation. We discuss Alun's experiences working in everything from radio to social media, while our host John (an American who has done his best to get up to speed with British culture and expressions) struggles to understand the ingredients of Alun's top recipes for poisons and remedies in the early modern era. Thanks to Digital Humanities at the University of Exeter for helping us to record and produce this episode!

In this live episode, The Rest Isn't History at Exeter invites Dr Gemma Clark (Senior Lecturer, Modern History) to take us through her past work on the Irish Civil War, on writing the history of violence, and on how our identities as historians can shape our work (and careers!) in sometimes unexpected ways. Gemma reveals some of her new work on arson and fire as forms of political violence, and our host John Lidwell-Durnin learns about turf missiles and the negative consequences of offering to sell butter to the police. Don't miss this episode! Thanks so much to Digital Humanities at the University of Exeter for hosting and recording.
