A History Of - Hannibal. Episode 62 - War in Greece

Hannibal is back! This week we cover the war in Greece, often called the First Macedonian War. We see just how things faired as the Romans, Macedonians, Achaeans and Aetolians duelled for control of the country. http://archive.org/download/AHistoryOf-Hannibal.Episode62-WarInGreece/Episode62.mp3

The Arab Spring - A History. Episode 22 - An Iraq Divided

The podcast is back! This week we continue to tell the story of Iraq following the July Revolution of 1958. We look at the initial conflict, Qasim's Premiership, and the February 1963 Revolution. http://archive.org/download/TheArabSpring-AHistory.Episode22-AnIraqDivided/Episode22.mp3

Podcast Restarting Schedule

Hi guys, this is just a quick update to let you know what's happening with the release schedule. With the episode last week Alexander Remastered has finished, so we just have Hannibal and Arab Spring to deal with. Rather than try and put several episodes out a week as I did last summer, and then struggle to write for the rest of the year, what I'm planning on doing will be to write a year's worth of episodes over the summer, and then release them over the coming twelve months. This will be done by alternating podcasts each week, as happened before the 'final semester of university' shutdown. Arab Spring will restart on Sunday 15th June with episode 22 covering Iraq from 1958 to the February 1963 revolution, and Hannibal will restart on Sunday June 22nd with episode 62 covering the Greek theatre of the war from 217 through to the peace treaty between Rome and Macedon in 205. These scripts have been written, and just need to be recorded. As I write this message I'm currently working on Arab Spring episode 23, so things are going well so far. I look forward to be podcasting once again!

Your humble podcaster,
Jamie

A History Of: Alexander - Remastered. Episode 22 - The End

The podcast will soon be back, so to celebrate here is an episode of Alexander I've had on my computer for 7 months and forgot to release! This week in Alexander Remastered, we bring the show to a close. http://archive.org/download/AHistoryOfAlexander-Remastered.Episode22-TheEnd/Episode22.mp3

NEW PODCAST FEEDS

Firstly, I'd just like to thank you all for the incredible response to my decision to focus on university for the next few months. I've been completely overwhelmed and appreciate every message. Now, on to the matter at hand. Some of you will be aware that iTunes decided to delete all my podcasts from iTunes, and despite my requests for a reason has not told me why. I think I know what the problem was though, but it means that the old feeds have died and I've had to reupload all my episodes. They are now back in iTunes, but you'll need to resubscribe. And I hate to do this, but if you could leave a few nice reviews that would be lovely of you, considering that they've now disappeared from the charts. The feeds are here:

Hannibal - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/history-hannibal-punic-wars/id834596259

Arab Spring - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-arab-spring-a-history/id834595069

Alexander - https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/history-alexander-remastered/id834596238

For those of you who do not use iTunes, the new feeds are https://ia700801.us.archive.org/8/items/HannibalFeed/HistoryHannibalandthePunicWars.XML https://ia600702.us.archive.org/16/items/ArabSpringFeed/ArabSpringHistory.XML and https://ia601204.us.archive.org/27/items/AlexanderFeed/AlexanderHistoryRemastered.XML

Because of the rather bizarre set-up I've created to solve the problem which removed the other feeds from iTunes, these new feeds work differently from the old ones, and will try to download themselves if you click them, so just copy the link into your podcatcher.

Best wishes,
Jamie
