Geschichte – Australien – Neue Podcasts

  • What if the people who predicted the future… could see what we’ve done with it? They wrote books. They issued warnings. They mapped out our technological Faustian bargains before we signed the dotted line.
    Now they’re back… sort of.
    They Tried to Warn Us is the podcast that resurrects dead thinkers—writers, theorists, prophets, poets—and asks them what they make of the world we’ve built.
    Why does it feel like we’re hurtling toward dystopia wearing VR goggles?
    Because they told us. We just didn’t listen.

  • Every generation thinks it’s living through the end of the world.

    A Short History of Saving the World is a monthly history podcast hosted by political economist Angus Hervey, and historian Ada Palmer, that explores world history through a new lens - zooming out to uncover the hidden patterns inside humanity’s biggest crises and turning points. From ancient civilisations to modern global events, each episode revisits the moments where everything could have collapsed … but didn’t.

    Part conversation, part historical detective work, the series reveals history not as a timeline of collapse, but as an ongoing story of human ingenuity, adaptation, and resilience. It’s a history podcast about how the world has been saved - again and again - and what that might mean for the future we’re building now.

  • The great arc of Viking history told through a chain of life stories, presented by broadcaster Richard Fidler and author Kári Gíslason.

  • Australian history holds a rich but largely untapped trove of extraordinary women: women who ran brothels, practised witchcraft, survived slavery, birthed children in the heat of the goldfields, or led tribes in resistance.

    Maiden Australia uncovers these lives, bringing to light the realities of women’s experiences in Australia before it became the nation we know today.

  • Gerard Mercator was born in Flanders ( now part of Belgium ) in 1512.
    It is unlikely that he ever travelled more than 100 kms from where he was born.
    Despite this, he devised a projection which resulted in maps of the then known world.
    The book of maps he produced was named ‘An Atlas ‘. He gave us the word. His map projection was still in use 400 years later!
    We spend so much time travelling to other places that we forget there is much to see and learn in our own surroundings. There is interest and comfort in the ordinary things in our lives.
    I hope these podcasts will encourage you to engage in a bit of serendipitous , and happy, ambling in your area.

  • Welcome to Strewth, where we uncover Australia's most captivating tales of true crime and mysterious happenings. Yarns so extraordinary they'll make you stop and say, "Strewth!"

    From the sun-scorched outback to the seedy underbelly of our biggest cities, Australia harbours some of the world's most perplexing mysteries. Stories so bizarre that even hardened detectives could only mutter that distinctly Australian expression of disbelief.

    Each episode takes you deep into extraordinary cases through atmospheric storytelling and meticulous research. You'll walk alongside the detectives, feel the frustration of families seeking answers, and experience the shock of communities torn apart by inexplicable events.

    Strewth reveals how these cases shaped Australian society and exposes the dark undercurrents flowing beneath the nation's beautiful facade. From colonial-era crimes to modern forensic breakthroughs, these are the stories that made headlines and left investigators scratching their heads.

    New episodes weekly. Because some stories are too strange not to tell.

We'll talk to people from Macedon to Mallacoota, to experts in history, philosophy and political science. And we'll uncover ideas that can dramatically improve the path of community recovery.

  • Welcome to Thomas Martellone Genealogy Research Podcasts! I’ve thought about podcasting for the longest time because I have really loved the work I’ve done related to genealogy and I think I have a knack for ”telling a good story”. I’m also an educator and that coupled with genealogy research has always influenced me in regards to teaching people about genealogy and getting them excited about family history research! My hope is to provide both genealogical content (research and related topics) along with anecdotes that may help inspire, ask questions, or maybe even get you started with family history research. Thanks in advance for following along! I’m glad to have you here.

  • From Caloroga Shark Media comes Crown and Controversy - King Charles.

    This season traces the King’s life from his 1981 wedding to Diana through his 2025 decision to strip his brother, Andrew, of all remaining titles. It joins Caloroga Shark Media’s growing slate of royal-themed podcasts, which range from daily royal updates in “Palace Intrigue” to speculative storytelling in “King William.”

    While no one truly knows what happens behind closed palace doors, this series uses news sources, on-the-record quotes, and some artistic license to craft this entertainment series. Some moments have been dramatized for storytelling effect. AI narration was used in creation of this series.


  • Urgent History brings together leading historians to apply their knowledge of the past to some of the most pressing questions of the present. Season 1, hosted by Dr Filip Slaveski, Senior Lecturer in Russian, Soviet and East European History, covered issues from the fate of face-to-face lectures and the crisis in Australian universities, to the roots of political populism, climate activism, and the cost-of-living squeeze.


    In Season 2, Emeritus Professor Carolyn Strange, a specialist in criminal justice and gender history, joins Filip Slaveski in new conversations with historians who explore how the past continues to shape our present. In this season, we consider the repercussions of war and colonisation, the changing nature and dynamics of families, and the historic and contemporary ways in which we consume the news.
