Love this podcast. With 440+ podcasts, there is something for everyone. Franklin was born in 1706 [O.S. 1705] and died in 1790, the podcast is about the world he lived in and covers the Long 18th century.

If you are into the American Revolution, however you date it, you must be into this website. If you haven't tried their podcast, Dispatches, then here you go!

A great podcast about the history of Menahqesk/City of Saint John, featuring stories of provincial and national importance. Back and excited to bring you more nothingness! Season 2 will include 4 episodes with Mark and guest co-hosts Peter Gillies, Valerie Emerson and Troy Middleton. Returning for a full Season 3 in September 2026.

You're Dead to Me Referred to as "The comedy podcast that takes history seriously." The wonderfully crazy British historian Greg Jenner brings together the best names in comedy and history to learn and laugh about the past. I love this guy. Try it out and turn your friends onto history!

The Union Flag of Great Britain that flew through most of the Long 18th century.

On 1606 April 12, the first Union Flag was created by royal decree under King James VI & I. This version combined the red cross of St. George (England) and the white saltire of St. Andrew (Scotland). It was primarily used on ships at sea. The flag became the official national flag of the newly formed Kingdom of Great Britain following the Acts of Union 1707 May 01. The current Union "Jack" design was adopted (1801 01 01) to mark the union of Great Britain and Ireland. This version added the red saltire of St. Patrick to represent Ireland.
