Introducing Back When, a new history podcast taking you inside the stories of the people, places and moments that made us. Launching 2 April.

Join historians Helen Antrobus and James Grasby for a fly on the wall view of our past. Discover the forgotten story of Britain's space race. Uncover the unsettling history of witches' familiars. And hear the origin story of sci-fi author HG Wells.

Our history is all around us. And we'll be transporting you behind the scenes at landmarks from castles to dance halls and WWII bunkers to workhouses. You’ll meet people from all walks of life whose fascinating stories help us make sense of who we are now. 

Lean in for a tale from time. Back When.

New episodes of Back When are released every fortnight. Follow Back When on your favourite podcast app to make sure you get every story.
