New podcasts in April 2009 - Anne is a Man

This month I reviewed eleven podcasts for the first time. There were eight in English and three in Dutch. As usual, most of them are in one way or the other a history podcast.

Sparkletack (review, site, feed)
Richard Miller tells the history of San Francisco.

Gilder Lehrmann history podcast (review, site, feed)
Podcast that are recordings of guest lectures at the Gilder Lehrmann Institute of American History.

It was 20 years ago today (review, site, feed)
Jamie Lawson takes us back 20 years and gives her personal view on history back then.

HUM 4104 (Virginia Tech) (review, site, feed)
Professor Matthew Gabriele's podcast that accompanies a lecture series about Medieval Heroes. The podcast gives very brief guidance to the texts about the heroes.

Gretchen Reilly's straightforward monologue podcast about American History from 1877 until today

Medieval & Renaissance Studies Events (Fall 2008) (Virginia Tech) (review, site, feed)
Virginia Tech's lecture series about the Crusades. As far as I can see only one of the lectures is available on podcast.

Very valuable modern western history lecture series on podcast. Professor Lynn Hunt from UCLA makes up for the lack of History 5 from Berkeley this semester.

Thanks for the guidance on these podcasts.

I am glad Gretchen Reilly's podcasts are up again. They were down for a while.

Have you listened to history 1C? If so, how does it compare the Berkeley's history 5 (by the various professors)?

I think 1c is level with 5. It just starts in the 18th century and not in the 15th. I am enjoying it a lot. The last lecture was great about Nietzsche...
