58. Communicating British History: An American Influencer’s Perspective

Henge

Lance Geiger

George Bernard Shaw famously (probably) said: “England and America are two countries separated by a common language.” Lance Geiger, YouTube’s The History Guy, has more than one and a half million subscribers, and has produced more than 1000 videos on history of all types. But a “Yank” talking about British History offers some unique challenges. From pronouncing place names to a completely different understanding of what Bacon is to more fundamental differences in the way that history is taught, The History Guy will discuss the creative challenges faced in producing some of his favorite episodes on British History.
