#77 – Humanity’s NEVER-ENDING shame!

Each week, historian and broadcaster Neil Oliver steps away from the usual headlines to offer a different perspective on current events, weaving them into the deeper fabric of our shared past. In this Neil Oliver: News, Comment, History podcast from Fat Belly Films, you'll find a thoughtful analysis that connects today's news with historical patterns and truths, suggesting that to understand where we are, we must consider where we've been. Oliver's distinctive, reflective style provides more than just commentary; it's a conversation about the forces that have shaped the British Isles and the wider world, drawing on a lifetime of archaeological and historical insight. This isn't a rushed news recap, but a paced, considered take that gives events context and weight. Listeners will hear a unique blend of disciplines, where a political development might be examined through the lens of ancient governance, or a social trend traced back through centuries of cultural change. The podcast serves as an audio companion for those who feel modern discourse lacks depth, offering a long view that is both grounding and provocative. It’s a regular opportunity to pause and reflect, guided by a storyteller who believes the past is never truly past. For anyone interested in the threads connecting news, opinion, and our collective history, this series provides a consistently engaging listen. You can find Neil Oliver's other projects, including his love letter series to the British Isles and the world, which are also produced as part of the Fat Belly Films collection.
