Our second episode focuses on 1066. Does it deserve to be one of those dates that we always remember? Did things really change that much under William I? We cover economics, the church, establishing control, changes in the north v south, the harrying of the north. We hope you enjoy the history teacher podcast. Mr A Otway

Our first ever episode focuses on the infamous case of Jack the Ripper in 1888. Unlike much of the media surrounding the Ripper case, we don't try to uncover any suspects, instead we look at why the police failed in their attempts to capture the perpetrator. The students that were a part of the first episode are Sam, Jack and Jenson. We hope you enjoy our first ever history teacher podcast. Mr A Otway
