We're taking a look at the roles of the Basic Law, chancellors and allies in ensuring political stability in the FRG on the podcast today, all through the lens of 2021's exam question. Before that, we hear about the history of Skoda in the Fact of the Week and Ali tells us all about this day in history.

Local history in the Fact of the Week, all about Somerleyton and the hovercraft. Also, lots of fun from Ali's On This Day In History where me and Anita forget that Napoleon didn't in fact escape from his island exile the second time! After all this, it's down to business, and to the all important Nazi foreign policy question, where we look at 2018's source and Anita gives us all some helpful tips.

A deep dive into source skills this week, looking at two sources from 2020's paper all about why Mussolini fell from grace in 1943. Why don't you get up the sources and then you can follow along. Before that though, I look at the history of the pain au chocolat and the two competing origin stories.

A look this week at all the different factors that contributed to the collapse of the Wiemar government, all through the prism of an essay question, with some top tips from Anita! It does take quite some time to get to that though, because the fact of the week about Concorde somehow devolves into a chat about the old words of English. It makes me wamblecropt just thinking about it.

Welcome to yet another episode of It All Ends In History. No Anita this week, but we are following her idea of carrying on with Mussolini's rise to power, now looking at how he went from being PM to being dictator. Before that, there's my fact of the week all about the first town to get (and then get rid of) electric street lights, and what a busy day in history it was on this day!

It's time for the first episode of the year, and unfortunately it's time to get more serious because exams are not all that far away. So, we're back to exam content, starting with Mussolini's rise to being the Italian PM. In this episode, we look at the roles played by all sorts of people in making Mussolini the PM. But, that's not before my fact of the week all about the Orient Express and On This Day In History is brought to us this week by Hazel.

So, it is almost the end of the year and it's the final episode of It All Ends In History. This week, we each choose the most interesting historical event we've learnt about this year and have a chat about it. There's the Titanic, Jack the Ripper and the story of Emma of Norwich - but which one is whose favourite? I think you'll have to listen to find out. Oh, and a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!

I think the title says it all about this week's episode of It All Ends In History. We set out to talk about a Victorian Christmas and all their festive innovations that make our modern celebrations. Then it's off to our own experiences of the nativity and even the eternal question of whether Die Hard is a Christmas film. Spoiler alert: it's not.

This week on It All Ends In History, we're taking a look at the ghost of Christmas past, looking at the festivals and feasts that came before what we know as Christmas today. There's plenty of Roman gods, Greek gods et cetera et cetera (Hazel likes the classics!) and a particular focus on food too. That's all after my fact of the week all about the day with no news.

This week, we discuss life in Nelson's Royal Navy and the qualities that made him a brilliant leader out on the water. There is also a sidebar on how impactful the French Wars were on the economy in Britain, and we take a look at how the state started to shift away from local control. That's all after my fact of the week all about the history of ketchup! Enjoy.
