We're launching a history podcast called Literate History, as a companion to our existing Literate Gamer podcast.

For Literate History, we're currently planning on doing a single host approach that uses a book as the center piece of the podcast. In season one, we're looking at doing the history of the Soviet Union and using Ronald Suny's "The Soviet Experiment" as our central text.

If you are interested in being a Beta listener, let me know and I'll get you on the list. You'll be able to access the first few episodes before they're released.

We want to know how our format/approach is working; if the podcast itself is both informative and entertaining, how the production value is, what we can do to improve things, etc. If you have any specific advice, or things you'd like to see in history podcast in general, feel free to let me know now.

We have a Twitter account @LiterateHistory the website is still being worked on.
