Binge Thinking History Podcast: 22. The Decline and Fall of the British Aircraft Industry

http://bingethinkinghistory.blogspot.com/2014/04/22-decline-and-fall-of-british-aircraft.html

Monday, 28 April 2014. 22 The Decline and Fall of the British Aircraft Industry. The post war years are seen by many and with some justification to be a golden age of British aero engineering. But with too many companies chasing a dwindling number of contracts and a Government that didn’t know the first thing about jet aircraft the ‘golden age’ wasn't going to last long.

Binge Thinking History Podcast: 21. What Goes Up Must Come Down

http://bingethinkinghistory.blogspot.com/2012/10/21-what-goes-up-must-come-down.html

Wednesday, 3 October 2012. 21 What Goes Up Must Come Down. The British Government is desperate to offload the national debt and with that in mind the South Sea Company bribes enough people to make sure they get to take it on. Their plan? An pyramid scheme to make money from an ever rising share price but someone forgets to mention that bubbles always burst. The parallels with todays financial crisis are too many to mention. Listen to Episode 21. 4 October 2012 at 08:48. So thrilled to see another episode!

Binge Thinking History Podcast: 15. The Reign of Terror to Trafalgar

http://bingethinkinghistory.blogspot.com/2010/05/15-reign-of-terror-to-trafalgar.html

Saturday, 29 May 2010. 15 The Reign of Terror to Trafalgar. The power balance in Europe is fundamentally changed by the French Revolution leading to war in Europe and a life and death struggle between Britain and France. Two men came to personify this period: Bonaparte and Nelson. 31 May 2010 at 20:47. Hey Tony, finished the podcast. You dont fool around in comprehension and quality do ya? Whens the next one out? 3 June 2010 at 02:22. As for the title of captain this is a term that ads to the confusion&#...

Binge Thinking History Podcast: 19. The Putney Debates

http://bingethinkinghistory.blogspot.com/2011/04/19-putney-debates.html

Tuesday, 26 April 2011. 19 The Putney Debates. During the latter part of 1647 a small church at Putney on the banks of the Thames saw ordinary soldiers and their civilian supporters call for not just for political and religious toleration, but also for the franchise to be extended beyond the landed gentry.  The Putney Debates paved the way for many of the civil liberties we value today but seems largely forgotten. 12 May 2011 at 01:22. 19 May 2011 at 14:30. 29 August 2011 at 17:09. 31 August 2011 at 00:41.

Binge Thinking History Podcast: 17. Ironclads, Big Guns and the road to World War 1

http://bingethinkinghistory.blogspot.com/2010/09/17-ironclads-big-guns-and-road-to-world.html

Saturday, 11 September 2010. 17 Ironclads, Big Guns and the road to World War 1. Sails are finally done away with as steam power takes over and the race between armour and guns gets under way.  Pax Britannia turns maps of the world red as the Americans, Japanese and Germans aspire to have navies just like the British; the road to World War One begins. 15 September 2010 at 08:55. I recently compiled a list of the Top 20 history podcasts, and I just wanted to let you know that you made the list!

Binge Thinking History Podcast: 23. Three V-bombers and one atomic bomb

http://bingethinkinghistory.blogspot.com/2014/08/23-three-v-bombers-and-one-atomic-bomb.html

Tuesday, 19 August 2014. 23 Three V-bombers and one atomic bomb. The Empire might be in decline so to remain relevant in the post war reality Britain not only needed to develop its own ‘bomb’ but a way to deliver it. In a flurry of invention the country would end up with not one but three modern futurist bombers, it almost had four, but with missile technology just over the horizon they would have a short ‘nuclear’ career. Listen to Episode 23. 29 September 2015 at 01:44. Anne is a Man!

Binge Thinking History Podcast: 20. When is a Trading Company not a Trading Company?

http://bingethinkinghistory.blogspot.com/2012/02/20-when-is-trading-company-not-trading.html

Monday, 6 February 2012. 20 When is a Trading Company not a Trading Company? War maybe Hell but it’s also very, very expensive and like almost every other country European country in the early 1700s England was deeply in debt.  Enter the South Sea Company and a story that mixes avarice, corruption, deceit, international intrigue and vast sums of other people’s money all topped off with political infighting and an unpopular monarch. . 7 February 2012 at 11:13. Sounds ripped from the current headlines.

Binge Thinking History Podcast: 18. 1914 to the decline of Empire

http://bingethinkinghistory.blogspot.com/2010/12/18-1914-to-decline-of-empire.html

Sunday, 19 December 2010. 18 1914 to the decline of Empire. World War One was the most significant event of 20th Century and amongst other things marked the beginning of the end of Pax Britannia.  The vacuum left would be readily filled by others but it wasn’t going to be plain sailing.  Almost a hundred years after World War One the future of the Royal Navy is as uncertain as it’s ever been. 20 December 2010 at 07:35. 20 December 2010 at 11:12. 21 December 2010 at 04:34.
