Update

2013-04-05T20:25:00.004-07:00

I sat down to record a new episode and it is criminally short. I was going to record an episode about the history of the vibrator but discovered some problems with the main source I used. I wrote one about Emily Davison and the Women's Sufferage movement in Britain but it is just too short. I'm going to add to it next week and have a new episode for you by Next Sunday (April 14th).

We now have a twitter @TofTPodcast follow, send comments and questions etc, you know how twitter works.

I know, I know you've heard that before. But I mean it this time, you've probably heard that before too. I really want to get this thing started again though but it's a lot of work and I need the motivation so send me your topic suggestions. Also if you make music send me something to play at the end of the show and I'll give you a plug.

Edmund Barton, Australia's first Prime Minister.

2007-01-31T17:59:00.000-08:00

To celebrate Australia Day I bring you a podcast about Edmund Barton, Australia's first Prime Minister. A bit of a long episode, which took me a long time to record because I had trouble with the speaking of the English. Jason from History Podcast presents an episode on the origins of Australia Day. Pretty interesting although the pronunciations made me cringe. Listen to this in conjunction with the two episodes from Triple J's Hack about the controversy over Australian flags at the Big Day Out, first one, second one.

Well, here it is, the first podcast from Tyranny of Time. An introduction, a short word about what to expect.

Introduction podcast.

Welcome to Tyranny of Time

2007-01-03T00:52:00.000-08:00

A podcast about history. Alright so there are no episodes yet but it will become a podcast.

Here's how its going to work:

Every fortnight or month depending on how easy I find it I will record around 10 minutes on a topic on history that amuses, interests, concerns or otherwise comes to my attention. In the first episode I will explain who I am and why I did this, information about where I will get my sources and why I will use them and not others and all that other stuff.

If you have any suggestions for episodes or on podcasting in general please email me or leave a comment.

More to come soon.
