The pandemic has had a profound impact on education, but two teenagers at UCS Hampstead found an innovative way of revising some key history topics: they started their own podcast.
Charlie Gordon and Jonah Howe - both in year 11 - have invited top historians onto their podcast The Historic Present and have discussed topics including the Treaty of Versailles and Stalin.

Ham&High: Myself and Jonah have been running a history and current affairs podcast. We started in November to help with people studying or revising for our GCSEs. We ve been trying to get as many proper historians on as possible.
