Overview

Historians Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook are bringing their cult podcast The Rest Is History to the stage for a string of live shows this November.

The award-winning podcast sees the UK’s favourite historian duo interrogate the past and attempt to detangle the present. They question the nature of Greatness, why the West no longer has civil wars and whether Richard Nixon was more like Caligula or Claudius.

The Rest Is History is currently the number one history podcast and one of the top ten most listened to podcasts of any genre in Australia and New Zealand. Their 250+ episodes have tackled everything from Alexander the Great to Agatha Christie, Watergate to the Wars of the Roses.

Now, Tom and Dominic are taking the show on the road! Don’t miss The Rest Is History live when it visits a city near you.
