History Storytime brings to life moments in history through the words of Sophie (aged 7), Ellie (aged 5) and their Daddy. We are not a commercial operation - we are just a family trying to do our bit to help support learning in these troubled times. Tens of thousands have now enjoyed our podcasts and many schools have started using them. There are dozens of ten minute episodes to choose from including:
The Space Race and the Moon Landing
Christopher Columbus and the discovery of America
The Cow and the Smallpox vaccine
Florence Nightingale: The Lady of the Lamp
The French Revolution
Hannibal and his Elephants cross the Alps
The War of Austrian Succession and the Jacobite Rebellion
Jamestown, the real Pocahontas and the founding of America
Animals in History: Dogs, Cats and Pigeons!
The Roman Empire: Emperors, People and Mice
They have songs, usually uniquely written which tell the some of the story. There is an emphasis on humour. Above all they give children a love of history.


Sophie and Ellie's Daddy is a History graduate so you can be sure that we are presenting accurate history pitched at the right level.


HISTORY EXPERTS RATE IT
"Well done Sophie Ellie and Dad. We wouldn't have been able to pack SO MUCH smallpox history into 10 minutes. The song "Edward Jenner had a cow" is going to be stuck in our heads all day!" - Dr Jenner's House and Museum about our Smallpox episode


"Love this concept" - The Florence Nightingale museum about our Florence Nightingale episode
TEACHERS VALUE IT

"We love these!!! Please, please don't stop making these podcasts. My family loved them. The history is entertaining and the vocals and background music / sounds are well done and fun to listen to. This is one of the best family friendly, educational podcasts I've ever heard. My four kids (4 - 10yo) all enjoy them" - Apple review from ostroms2004


"Great way for kids to learn history. My daughter has loved this podcast. She has so many more questions after each episode and just wants to know more. Great way to pass history onto kids." - Apple review from Deadlykitten23
Teachers, parents and children love it. 35,000 unique downloads and being a top rated podcast in Apple can't be wrong.
