Podcasts
Since 2009 the IHR has produced over 800 podcasts, encompassing not only its acclaimed and unique seminar series, but also one-off talks and conferences. All of these recordings are freely available here to stream or download, and can be searched, or browsed by date, event, or subject. In many cases abstracts and other material accompanying the talks can also be found.
These recordings, particularly those taken from seminars where historians are showcasing their current research, provide a great opportunity to listen to experts in all fields of history discuss their work in progress.
