Hoots and hoorays it’s another historically informed maritime current events podcast! Or Bilge Pumps as we three naval geeks call it…As an explanation, well imagine three naval historians having a chat while kayaking, but really without the kayaks or the sinking, plus it’s done over Skype.
So what is episode three about? Well the #Bilgepumps team are going topical, starting out with statues, then how we teach history before wandering into lessons from history. It’s a little less maritime than usual, but we felt the history side would pan out.
#Bilgepumps is a new series and new avenue, although it may no longer have the new car smell, in fact more of pinnaple/irn bru smell – but so far we are getting the impression it’s liked. Going forward, we’d very much appreciate any comments, topic suggestions, or ideas to be tweeted to the Bilgepump crew (with #Bilgepump) at Alex (@AC_NavalHistory), Drach (@Drachinifel), and Jamie (@Armouredcarrier). Or you can comment on our Youtube channels (listed down below).

Really good episode as usual. I have these playing along as I work – admittedly not when undertaking fine detail work!
