This is a podcast about the history of human societies and their interaction with the environment. The periodic programmes feature interviews with academics and researchers working in the field, reports on conferences and discussions about the use and methods of environmental history. The podcasts are accompanied by brief bibliographical list and a textual summary. The podcasts cover a broad range of subjects including the climatic influence of forests, the problems of rewilding and the environmental history of the River Tyne.
The site is also linked to Environmental History Resources, which contains a blog, text essays and links to other environmental history resources on the web.
