What do the Ancient Greeks, Viking warriors and World War II munition factories have to tell us about modern learning and development? More than you might think!

On this week's episode of The GoodPractice Podcast, Michelle Parry-Slater joins Ross G and Owen to explore lessons from the history of L&D.

We discuss:

• how modern L&D developed
• the benefits of exploring our history
• evolution vs revolution in L&D.

If you'd like to get in touch with us about any of the things we've said on this show, you can tweet @RossGarnerGP and @OwenFerguson or @MiPS1608.

You can also tweet @GoodPractice and @GoodPracticeAUS.
