The BHP is a chronological retelling of the history of Britain with a particular focus upon the lives of the people. You won’t find a dry recounting of dates and battles here, but instead you’ll learn about who these people were and how their desires, fears, and flaws shaped the histories of England, Scotland, and Wales.
Asking adventurers, athletes and those with inspiring stories, why? Join Ben Sheppard & a new guest every other Wednesday! #WhyInTheWorld 🌍
