Dan Snow

Hi there, I'm Dan, host of Dan Snow's History Lit Podcast.

And I can imagine on these dark winter nights, all you're going to do is curl up with a cup of tea and get lost in an amazing story.

Well, I can help you with that.

Twice a week, I tell you the most dramatic and extraordinary stories from history with details I can guarantee you've never heard before.

Feel the frostbite of that grisly, failed American invasion of Canada in the dead of winter.

Imagine every clash and blow at the Battle of Bosworth.

Follow Eleanor of Aquitaine, one of the most powerful women in the medieval world, as she goes on crusade to the Holy Land with 300 handmaidens in tow.

She leads her own army.

Everyone goes gaga for Eleanor.

And trace the voyage of the first Vikings as they arrive on Iceland's lonely shores.
