THIS IS HISTORY — IN CONVERSATION

This Is History: In Conversation returns, with Dan Jones meeting the historians, writers, filmmakers and scholars who spend their lives dissecting the past, trying to make sense of what remains. Film director Paul Greengrass joins him to discuss bringing the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 to the screen in his new film The Uprising, starring Andrew Garfield. Dan Snow maps out the historical sites that keep drawing him back, and tells us why he’s happily content taking credit for Dan Jones’s bibliography. Military historian Michael Livingston explains why the Hundred Years' War refused the neatness of its own title, while artist and historian Amy Jeffs examines the enduring pull of King Arthur, that most elastic figure in British history. Witty, opinionated and teeming with unexpected detours, these conversations open a window onto the people shaping how we understand the world today. And if one episode isn't enough, you can go deeper every week with bonus episodes available ad-free at patreon.com/thisishistory A Sony Music Entertainment production.
