| Introducing the 15 Minute Book Club! | 26 nov. 2025 | 00:20:26 | |
History Hack regulars Alex Churchill and Matt Bone are back! We don't always have an hour or so to spare. In this new, short-form podcast, Alex and Matt interview an author, gameshow style, and they have fifteen minutes on the clock to convince you to buy their new book. With a minute to go, the alarm sounds and your hosts will throw out the meanest, saddest comment they think the internet will come up with about the book and the author gets a chance to respond. In episode 1, David Rooney discusses The Big Hop, and the thrill of racing to be first to fly across the Atlantic in 1919.
