If the words "French Revolution" seem daunting to you, then you're not alone.
It would take a whole series of podcast episodes to truly understand it all - and luckily for us - podcaster Mike Duncan has done exactly that. His Revolutions Podcast is world renowned.
In this episode of The Earful Tower, he breaks down the French Revolution to its simplest essence. You could call it "The French Revolution For Idiots", where I, your humble host, play the part of the idiot and ask all the questions you are too shy to ask.
As for Mike, a self-confessed "complete history geek", you can find more of his work via his Twitter page here.
This episode was first aired on The Earful Tower in 2019.
This episode was brought to you by Cook'n With Class, click here to book a class with them. I did the sauce-making class and LOVED it.
Their English-speaking cooking classes are a delightful blend of fun, education, and gastronomy. Designed for culinary enthusiasts of all levels, they offer a unique opportunity to explore French cuisine through hands-on experiences in a welcoming atmosphere.
