Hubertine Auclert, feminist of the early Third Republic, wanted the vote, payment for domestic labour, feminine job titles and recognition of intersectional oppression of Algerian women. #frenchpodcast #FrHistory www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...
“400 years ago it never would have occurred to anybody to be introspective” #FRHistory

THE MOST HISTORICALLY INTERESTING CAFE IN TOULOUSE? / There are four parts to the story of Le Bibent: outstanding architecture, catering innovation, political journalism and an assassination conspiracy.

Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, who believed colonialism was a force for good, led a mission to the French Congo to investigate rumours of abuse in rubber harvesting. He died on the way back and... his report was not published. Gripping #frenchpodcast #FrHistory www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/...
In an increasingly depressing world, I can't offer insightful takes on current events but I can offer mild distraction via lots of puns and silliness about the French Revolution and #FrHistory
Should brothels be illegal, or do they protect women? Lively 6-part docudrama #frenchpodcast on the closure of the maisons closes in France after WW2. #FrHistory podcasts.apple.com/fr/podcast/a...
In ancient times, our distant ancestors took practical steps to reduce the risk of dying of starvation in troubled times. A key part of their survival strategy was the silo. #FrHistory www.colinduncantaylor.com/blog/give-us...
Surprisingly gripping #frenchpodcast on how Bismarck used fake news & media manipulation to get the French to declare war in 1870. But is this really what set the stage for two world wars? High stakes claims. #FrHistory www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/...
Debates about French national identity date back to the late 18thC. Racial (Thierry) or defined by history (Michelet)? Cameo appearances from Clovis and Vercingetorix, and some hilarious songs, in this #frenchpodcast with the excellent Sylvain Venayre. #FrHistory www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...
The Oppidum d’Ensérune near Béziers is the best example in the south of France of a fortified Celtic settlement. A lawyer called Félix Mouret rode up here in 1895 and wondered why the ground beneath his horse’s hooves sounded hollow.

When Henry VI comes to the throne of England at 9 months old, he is supposedly heir to the kingdom of France as well. What could possibly go wrong? A story of uncles behaving badly and the Parliament of Bats (ie wooden clubs). Sort of #FrHistory podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/p...
First of two #frenchpodcast on Saint Louis, who was not bad as kings of France go, apart from all that crusading. Handy histoire événementielle for those who get their Louis mixed up. #Frhistory podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...
How did French Enlightenment thinkers situate themselves in relation to colonialism? Some odd disagreements (on whether 'colonialism' means just settler colonialism, and what exactly Voltaire and Diderot were being critical of...) in this #frenchpodcast #FrHistory www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...
Fascinating #frenchpodcast on how the musée Napoléon (aka Louvre) was filled with the looted art of Europe … and then had to give it back in1815. #Frhistory with Bénédicte Savoy. www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...
The beginnings of photography, in France and partly in Nice, which wasn’t French at that point. #frenchpodcast full of obsessive inventors who didn’t make much money. #Frhistory www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...
First of a four-part series on Joan of Arc, who heard voices but unlike most young girls with celestial visions scorned miraculous healing in favour of winning military victories, and liked to cross-dress. #FrHistory podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/j...
The spoked-wheel fields of Montady are the result of a 13th-century project to transform a disease-ridden swamp into productive farmland: 400 hectares divided into 80 slices by 120 kilometres of drainage ditches. #Frhistory

In 1803 Napoleon sold off an enormous amount of land (mostly lived on by first peoples rather than by the French or Spanish), doubling the size of the USA. Counter-intuitively, this was partly because the French had just lost Haiti. Interesting podcast #FRhistory www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
Today, Marianne is the symbol of the French republic, but she was not a real person. Like Eleanor Rigby or Maggie May, she was dreamt up for a song. www.colinduncantaylor.com/blog/mariann... #FrHistory
One of the few surviving examples of a traditional dessert from the south of France is the mesturet (locals pronounce all the letters). Why did other Occitan pastries disappear, such as the rauzel, the feuilleté or the autrichien? #Frhistory #cooking www.colinduncantaylor.com/blog/discove...

One of those trick questions for #Frhistory nerds to present to their students: 'Where was Anne d'Autriche from? (along with 'Who ruled France between Napoleon I and Napoleon III?') Find out in this enjoyable biography in a series of five mini #Frenchpodcast www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/...
Interesting podcast on the experiences of two Tahitian travelers to Enlightenment Europe in the 18thC, Ahutoru in France and Mai in England (& some discussion of Loti's later Tahitian novel) with Antoine Lilti, on his new book. #Frenchpodcast #FrHistory
Sad to be missing the Louvre exhibition on Jacques-Louis David (died 1825). Here's a #frenchpodcast on him moving from avid Republican to Bonaparte-enthusiast, and painting all his figures naked even when he was going to put clothes on them later. #FRhistory shows.acast.com/storiavoce/e...
In English, isatis tinctoria is commonly known as woad. In Toulouse it was pastel. Extracting the blue dye from these green leaves was a long and complicated process, but it generated enormous wealth for south-west France during the Renaissance. #FrHistory www.colinduncantaylor.com/blog/the-sec...
The 100 years war presented as a '200 years' war, and a key period in the formation of the French nation, in this pod on the book by @michaellivingston.com. Not the 'boys' own adventure' approach to Agincourt. #FRhistory podcasts.apple.com/za/podcast/2...
François 1er thought he could take on the Emperor Charles V - it all went pear-shaped at the battle of Pavia and the King of France was a prisoner in Spain until he swapped places with his young sons (the future Henri II among them). All in this podcast. #FRHistory podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/k...
