Chalke Valley History Festival - Part 1

The Historic Present - A podcast by Jonah Howe and Charlie Gordon

Categories:

Over the summer, we were invited to represent the podcast at the Chalke Valley History Festival down in Wiltshire. The festival is one of the largest history festivals in the country, and even though it was welcoming reduced numbers of guests due to some pandemic going around, it still attracted the masses in their thousands. Over three days we spoke to several professional history fanatics - authors, historians, comedians and actors alike. In todays episode, we take a look at the first part of these conversations and interviews. We didn't stop speaking for days - so we've got lots more content for you! Those featured in this episode include Sir Vince Cable, Harry Enfield, Catherine Fletcher, Charlie Higson and Sir Anthony Seldon (not in order of appearance)
