I recorded this way back in September when I had ambitious dreams of doing a whole series on the history of British social clubs, but I’ve been unfortunately wiped with work and with the emotional toll of American politics lately, so I was never able to get the series off the ground. But what we have is a fantastic conversation with my colleague, Seth Thévoz, talking about his research on clubs in 19th Century Britain. Seth is the author of a really wonderful book on how London gentlemen’s clubs had a massive impact on 19th century politicians and politics. At the height, probably over 19 out of every 20 Members of Parliament were a member of at least one club. We talk about Seth’s book and then talk about the differences we see between clubs in the 18th and the 19th century.

Historians In The Time of COVID: Three Starts To The USA with Kyle Jackson
If you like the show can now support us on Patreon! (patreon.com/makingofahistorian)
This week we have returning guest Kyle Jackson—who last came on to tell us about the Panama Canal. Today he’s coming on to practice his orals. I ask him to tell us to give us three different dates when we could start the beginning of US history. It’s a great discussion. You’ll learn a lot. Both about US history, and also about how historians think about history.
Can’t get enough of Kyle? (We can’t.) In his other life he’s a producer / rapper dubbed Nahvocado. You can find him on his Insta @nahvocado.
