Timing, as they say is everything. With everyone currently at home under confinement there has never been a better time to launch a series of podcasts. Not only is there a massive audience of history lovers under confinement, authors, academics, TV stars and experts are also stuck at home with time on their hands.Just three weeks ago two passionate up and coming historians began using their considerable networking skills to bring all this together under the banner of History Hack.The podcasts’ informal and lively mix of banter and information feature interviews with some heavy hitters from the History World and the subjects and eras tackled in the shows are varied. Over the course of 34 shows (so far) just a few of the topics covered are: badass War Queens, Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin Wall, The Renaissance, the myth of Atlantis, Nazi Conspiracies, Victorian Freak Shows, Belgium in the Great War, Biblical Archaeology and the Holocaust. It may be a cliché but there really is “something for everyone.”The podcasts are presented by two friends who really just wanted to keep each other amused during lock down.They also discuss TV shows and films with a historical slant. The Napoleonic special featuring Sharpe himself Sean Bean was a favourite of this writer and a future show about Hornblower will include an exclusive chat to stars Ioan Gruffudd and Jamie Bamber.
We’ve just had an awesome time with #SharpesReunion Part II! Thanks for talking part too @ZwhiteHistory@abarnes_95th & @mcribb89
So from top left at today's reunion Riflemen; Perkins, Hagman, Harris, Tongue (needs a haircut) and Cooper.
It was over an hour of pure joking and reliving the filming stories. A bit like being a fly on a Sharpe pub wall! (we briefly talked history too but... Chosenmen)
And on Sunday we have #SharpesReunion Pt Deux! All five of the chosen men join us to reminisce about filming, chat history and perhaps even sing! @ZwhiteHistory @abarnes_95th @The_95th_Rifles@mcribb89 - Pole Position this week is on the Napoleonic wars too with @1815fletcher!
Join us in a bit for #SharpesReunion Part Deux! Laugh at us trying to exercise some semblance of control over the Chosen Men as they basically run riotWe needed Sharpe!@ZwhiteHistory @mcribbHistory @abarnes_95th
Sharpe's Chosen Men: Jason Salkey, Michael Mears, Lyndon Davies, John Tams and Paul Trussell reunite for the first time in years to talk about making the series. Horror moments, more from the Yalta Bazaar, the legend that is the Triple M, and why does Daniel Craig owe Perkins £5.99? Zack White, Marcus Cribb and Adam Barnes attempt to provide some historical context, but in truth, the actors ran riot.
Sharpe is coming back! The Chosen Men are bringing the crew GET YOUR QUESTIONS IN for props, locations, set design on the visual side & scripts, photography& editing on for production. Going to be a very unique opportunity to find out how historical drama is brought to life
Maybe another question would be... Did the prop masters have to develop any special procedures to prevent Sean Bean from taking anything not nailed down home with him from set?………..Yes that’s so going in lol
We are having a #Sharpe party tomorrow! The chosen men AND they’re bringing the crew - anything you want to know about filming, sets, storylines, props, costumes, let us know!@abarnes_95th @ZwhiteHistory@The_95th_Rifles @mcribbHistory

The Chosen Men rejoin us, bringing a host of crew members with them that spent years dedicating their expertise and creativity to recreating the earl nineteenth century. Find out if Lyndon remembers anything yet, what fake sick is made of, why Russian stuntmen are terrifying and what happens when actors don't get their bacon.
We sat down with Paul McGann to talk about his short stint as Richard Sharpe. Also there were Jason Salkey, Brian Cox BOTH Wellingtons, Troughton & Fraser, Assumpta Serna & Scott Cleverdon! @ZwhiteHistory & @mcribbHistory were slightly excited! You can hear the madness is 8 DAYS!
