A brand new podcast is being released by Global with LBC presenter and bestselling author Iain Dale and historians of 20th century Dr. Tessa Dunlop.
What makes politics meet history with Iain Dale and Tessa Dunlop is a combination of Iain's reputation for modern political incisions and curiosity with Tessa's reputation for PhD. He is known for speaking truth to World War I, royalty and to power.
With each of the 60-minute episodes released on Tuesday and Friday, the pair explores today's political landscape with similarities from the past.
The series will focus on at least two major topics explored from contemporary and retrospective angles, along with weekly features on the latest royal events.
Iain Dale said: The way politics fills history is a natural successor to many, and although different, it has the same vibe.
“There are few news stories that don't resonate with history. Tessa Dunlop and I try to discover twice a week how our history has led us to where we are today.
“There's a lot of laughs along the way, as both Tessa and I can't keep going for two minutes without showing any humor. Sometimes that works too.”
Dr. Tessa Dunlop added: Sadly no. All mistakes have been made before.
“The places where politics fill history learn, bend, laugh, to alleviate the pain (and joy?) of the present.
“Sardnick Ian Dale can pour all the cold water he likes into politics today, in certain knowledge that retaliates with historic equivalents. It's competitive! After all, my co-host is a man.”
Vicky Etchells, director of Global Podcasts, commented: “Where politics fills history, I'm excited to combine one of Tessa's best minds about modern history.
“This is an alternative way to look into history and politics that we didn't need, but we're very prepared!”
It is a global player original podcast where politics meets the history of Iain Dale and Tessa Dunlop. It will be released on Tuesday, March 11th and will be available in global players and where you can get podcasts.
