From its beginnings as a backwater of the Roman Empire to its heyday at the heart of the British Empire and up to the eve of the Great War, Rosemary Hill charts London’s history through waves of expansion and contraction with the help of historians, antiquaries and archaeologists.
London's past is everywhere beneath its streets, in the geology and archeology of its deep and ancient history, and in its mythic lives, in William Blake's Albion and Cobbett's 'Great Wen', the home of Dick Whittington and King Lud. This will be the London described by Tacitus, Shakespeare and Viginia Woolf, a city shaped by Boudicca, Christopher Wren and Joseph Bazalgette, and a story of countless disasters, recoveries and triumphs unfolding over more than 2,000 years.
Rosemary Hill is a writer, historian and contributor to the London Review of Books. Her books include ‘God's Architect', 'Stonehenge' and ‘Time’s Witness: History in the Age of Romanticism’.

Sometime between the 13th and 16th centuries, a small city on the banks of the Arno River decided—without knowing it was deciding—to change the world.
Florence produced Brunelleschi, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Dante, and Machiavelli. It invented the Renaissance, created the modern banking system, and exported ideas that are still present in everything you see and use today.
This series tells that story, with the depth of a documentary and the pacing of a literary narrative.
Every great story has an address. And this world began here. -

In A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge, Irish philosopher George Berkeley challenges the views of his contemporary John Locke regarding human perception. Written in 1710, this influential work argues that the external world is not made of physical objects, as Locke suggests, but is instead composed solely of ideas. Berkeley asserts that Ideas can only resemble Ideas, meaning our mental concepts are reflections of other ideas rather than material forms. He further posits that this realm of ideas is governed by a divine force—God—who imbues it with structure and order. This thought-provoking treatise invites readers to reconsider the nature of reality and the role of perception in shaping our understanding of the world.

Motor City UK tells the story of the city Coventry's relationship with the motor car.
From the cycle workshops of the 19th century to the birth of the British car industry, from the boom years of mass production to the challenges of decline, and on to today’s reinvention as a global hub for electric, autonomous and advanced automotive technology development.
This documentary-style podcast explores the people, places and ideas that have shaped Coventry’s automotive identity. Along the way, we hear from historians, engineers, designers, artists, event organisers and innovators - those who were there in the days of high volume manufacturing, and those defining what comes next.
Motor City UK is about more than factories and machines. It’s about culture, creativity and community. About why cars mattered - and still matter - to this city, and how Coventry retains it place at as the UK's original Motor City.
