ÜBER DIESEN PODCAST 🔗
Extra Simple History is the whole story of history's biggest turning points, made extra simple. Every episode takes one subject — an empire, a war, a revolution, a dynasty, a single decisive year — and explains it clearly from beginning to end in about twelve minutes. No jargon, no assumed knowledge, and no gaps left in the middle: if you have never heard of the topic before, you will still follow every step.
This is history for people who love a good story but were put off by dry textbooks and endless dates. Each episode is a complete, self-contained narrative — the causes, the key figures, the turning point, and what it changed — told in plain English with a light touch and a clear through-line. Perfect for commutes, walks, workouts, study, or falling asleep to something more interesting than the news.
We travel across every era and every continent: ancient Rome, Greece, Egypt and Mesopotamia; the Byzantine and Ottoman empires; medieval Europe, the Crusades and the Vikings; the Mongols, imperial China and Japan's samurai age; the Islamic Golden Age and the empires of Africa; the Americas before and after Columbus; and the revolutions, wars and upheavals that built the modern world. Recent episodes include the Fall of Constantinople, the Punic Wars between Rome and Carthage, Genghis Khan and the Mongol conquests, Justinian and Theodora, Sengoku Japan, Mansa Musa and the Mali Empire, and the Haitian Revolution.
New episode every day. Whether you are a lifelong history buff, a student cramming for an exam, or just curious how the world got the way it is, Extra Simple History gives you the big picture in one sitting. Subscribe and follow along — one topic, one story, one episode at a time.
