  • Thomas Becket: life of week
    Thomas Becket is probably medieval England's most famous martyr and saint – yet the circumstances of his life are overshadowed by his infamous feud with King Henry II, and his shocking murder in Canterbury Cathedral one winter's evening in 1170. Emily Briffett speaks to historian and author Michael Staunton to chart how Becket rocketed to power from humble origins, before dramatically switching from close royal ally to the thorn in Henry II's side. (Ad) Thomas Becket is the author of Thomas Becket and His World (Reaktion Books, 2025).

  • Why Africa's history is more than just the slave trade

Luke speaks to Matt Elton about some of the stories that shine the spotlight back on African people.
