Planning to incorporate episodes of @TidesHistory into homeschooling my kids over the next however many weeks/months. Seems perfect for the purpose. Thanks to @KDPluymers for the suggestion! #USIH #twitterstorians

If you’ve been listening to my podcast it’s worth tuning into @TidesHistory. @Patrick_Wyman doesn’t mention Ireland (it focuses a lot on Italy & the Ottoman Empire) but it gives a sense how our history takes place at the margins. It’s useful context. Also it’s a masterful pod

🎧 LISTEN: The Pilgrims and Puritans dominate our understanding of early America and the future of U.S. history. Yet their success and long-term influence weren't inevitable. @USC Dornsife historian Peter Mancall explains on @TidesHistory. ow.ly/gecs50y4nWY

Pretty sure I first heard this from @Patrick_Wyman on @TidesHistory. One of those things that seems so obvious when you think about it for more than a second

Interesting thread by a sharp follow. Checkout @TidesHistory if you haven't yet.
I have some thoughts about the declines and falls of imperial ruling classes, which may or may not be relevant to our current state of affairs.

Psst, do you follow @Patrick_Wyman and @TidesHistory cause I think you would enjoy both. Here's why I say that.... x.com/Patrick_Wyman/status/1…

So here's why I think this much-hyped paper - "The Justinianic Plague: An Inconsequential Pandemic?" is deeply wrong. This matters because its approach is superficially empirical and quantitative, but the data fundamentally doesn't speak to the problem they want it to.

Some Tides of History news: Starting in June, we'll be leaving the later Middle Ages and early modern period behind. Our new destination will be prehistory, from the dawn of humanity to the Iron Age.

If you aren't subscribed to @TidesHistory, you should be. It's an amazing history podcast and especially good if you're interested in the medieval and early modern period.
New Tides of History: The rise of printing and the invention of news. I chatted with Professor Andrew Pettegree about early printing and how the new industry both thrived and failed - fascinating talk. art19.com/shows/tides-of-his…
