History is all about the most exciting and important things that have ever happened on the planet. It has shaped the very world we live in today. Whether it is our infrastructure, culture, sport, travel or anything else, without history there is no present and we make history every day!
History Hit brings you the most extraordinary, dramatic, tragic and fascinating stories of our shared past. Whether it is famous historians critiquing the historical accuracy of blockbuster films like Gladiator and Saving Private Ryan or experiencing a day in the life of a sailor in Nelson’s Navy, History Hit brings diverse and engaging historical content at your fingertips.
They are reinventing how history is told in the digital age through video, podcasts, articles and more. Stories were once told through carvings and parchments, now they are told through Mobiles and Laptops, and History Hit is pioneering this new age of storytelling.
As part of their offering, they have been running a weekly podcast for three years, with it being the number one most listened to history podcast on iTunes. There are now over 300 episodes of Dan Snow’s History Hit, and they also publish Art Detective and the History of the Unexpected podcast. Which are growing and entertaining their own audiences alike.
In 2018 we launched HistoryHit.TV – a new online only channel for history lovers. You can find hundreds of history documentaries, interviews and short films. They have content suited to all audiences, whether you are catching a quick break at lunch and wanting something snappy or settling down to a pizza and a gin on a Friday night.
History Hit’s new website also allows history fans to access historical trivia and articles by well known historians.
You can find us on Facebook and also follow us on Twitter. You can also sign up to our newsletter, and be sure to check out the History Hit YouTube channel here.
