The British Museum Membercast is a popular History podcast I co-created alongside the Membership Team at The British Museum. I host, present and edit the monthly podcast that allows me access to the most amazing experts and latest revelations in World History and Archeology. 

Each month I explore the topics of one of the Member Lectures and interview experts on subjects as diverse as Joan of Arc, The Holy Roman Empire, Prehistoric human footprints, Capability Brown and Iron Age Britain. 

The Podcast aims to not only educate, but to interest people in The British Museum, revealing some of the opportunities open to those who become members. This is why I got to spend a spooky night sleeping in one of the galleries!
