Prime Time: Prime Ministers podcast

I just listened again, and HOLY HECK @primetimepod.bsky.social did a great job with our opening skit, "The Adventure of the Craig Vale Coiners", a true-ish Homes/radio play w/ Rockingham. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should. It starts at 3:11. www.primefactorspodcast.com/e/120-charle...

Thanks for asking us! Excited to listen

Rockingham is back! North failed to win the war, so our favorite horse-lover is back. We look again at his second time in office and update his score. Thanks to @primetimepod.bsky.social for their amazing work in in our Picture This! Please check it out. www.primefactorspodcast.com/e/120-charle...

Both Prime Time award winners!

Two such different politicians, both hugely influential at Court (and in government) sharing a death day: John Hervey, Lord Hervey (d. 1743) and Frederick North, Lord North, by then 2nd earl of Guilford (d. 1792). Hervey didn't live to inherit the earldom of Bristol; North got his for just 2 years.

With all of today's excitement, why not listen to our Election Special about how one #primeminister hands over to another? A whirlwind of ceremonial, politics, and administration, forcing a new PM to get their government together in no time at all... shows.acast.com/prime-time/e...

Please enjoy a few minutes of personal rule by King Charles III

@primetimepod.bsky.social Some inspiration for future special episodes? www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

OK this was not about who I thought it was about #disappointed

Prime Ministers are dumb! Who would want to listen to an episode about stuffy Prime Ministers, when you can listen to Abram tell me about the "Prime Ministers of Rock", the Beatles. Don't ask me what I want it for (Ah, Mr. Wilson) If you don't want to pay some more (Ah, Mr. Heath) bit.ly/4v2xCA7

We've reached the finals! It… took an unexpected turn! forms.gle/9Gur5i2FhEF3... @alexstandardpod.bsky.social @aopnetwork.bsky.social @battleroyale.bsky.social @primetimepod.bsky.social @primefactorspod.bsky.social @totalusrankium.bsky.social @rankingpersia.bsky.social @presidencies.bsky.social

Politicians have some unexpected duties... Within hours of tearing lumps out of each other at #PMQs, the #PrimeMinister and Leader of the Opposition (and both Speakers!) made a 60-mile dash to Kent to attend the installation of Sarah Mullaly as the 106th #ArchbishopOfCanterbury

Coming up on Lord North part 3... 👀🫖 In the meantime, catch up on the first two episodes on "the man who lost America"🗽here shows.acast.com/prime-time/e... #teatime #teaparty #bostonteaparty #history #declarationofindependence

William Pitt fights on! Get voting, everyone! (No rotten boroughs here)

A great read! (which we used for our episodes) More generally, the @histparl.bsky.social project is an amazing resource, filled with fascinating stuff which we'd highly recommend!

This is amazing!

With amazing timing, we've just reached a position where the majority of our listeners now come from inside the US. For a British podcast about British history, this is a badge of hono(u)r!

BIG NEWS 😱🚨 OK, not really, but we are updating our #primeminister episode thumbnails. We firmly believe that “there’s no such thing as a bad idea, so say yes to every single idea” so if you can think of any fun visual gags to add to old episodes, do let us know! #thecatstays #history #politics
