History isn't just about dates and dead kings.
It's about the decisions, ideas, triumphs and disasters that shaped the world we live in today.
Welcome to Holistic History, I’m Russell Myrie.
Once a month, ill delve into a fascinating topic or event from the past, exploring the people, conflicts and turning points that changed the course of history. From political conspiracies and social upheaval to war, revolution and the stories that are often overlooked, I’ll examine the past in its full context.
Discover the events that shaped the world—for better or worse—and gain the most powerful tool you could ever hope for: hindsight.
Because when we understand where we've been, we see the present a little more clearly.
And for the first month, you lucky lot get two topics instead of one.
So join us as we take a holistic look at history and uncover the stories that still echo through our world today.
Subscribe now at: shows.acast.com/holistic-history for the third and final episode of every season.

History is rarely as simple as we remember it.
Holistic History Pod explores the people, events and ideas that shaped our world — uncovering the connections, contradictions and overlooked…
Each documentary-style series takes a subject and follows it in depth, combining compelling storytelling with careful historical research and contemporary primary sources. From British social and industrial history to slavery, empire, revolution, war and the struggle for political and social change, Holistic History looks beyond isolated events to understand the wider forces that shaped them.
Recent series have explored the extraordinary connection between the American Civil War and the Lancashire Cotton Famine, and the history of convict leasing and the chain gang following the abolition of slavery in the United States.
The aim is not simply to tell you what happened, but to ask why it happened, who experienced it, and how its consequences reached far beyond its own time.
If you enjoy thoughtful, narrative history that goes beyond the familiar version of the past, subscribe to Holistic History Pod.
