Lars Brownworth

I have come to deeply appreciate the work of Lars Brownworth. His podcasts are great and I am eagerly waiting the next episode of Norman Centuries to come out on i-tunes. I recommend both his 12 Byzantine Rulers podcast and certainly his Norman Centuries podcast. I believe he is really defining a genre of a new generation of historians who will use technology like podcasting to both popularize history and make a name for themselves. It is also interesting that he was a history teacher when he did his first podcast: 12 Byzantine Rulers. If you click on the links from the write up about him it will bring you to his websites. Also there is a link to his website below. Enjoy.

Here is a write up about him from his website:

"Lars Brownworth is an author, speaker and broadcaster based in Maryland, USA.
Mr. Brownworth created the genre-defining 12 Byzantine Rulers podcast, which prompted the New York Times to liken him to some of history's great popularizers. Recently, he finished a book titled Lost to the West: The Forgotten Byzantine Empire That Rescued Western Civilization, which is available in bookstores now. He speaks at various conferences and is currently working on a new podcast that brings to life the reign of the Normans.
Lars Brownworth has a new blog called Finding History where he answers questions from his podcast and book projects."
