Here we are. 2 years of the History of the Germans Podcast. 93 main episodes and 102 when we count bonus episodes, interviews and the like. That makes 3,223 minutes or 2d, 5h and 43minutes of recorded history. At the last count you have downloaded 914,413 episodes which means if you had all listened to all of the episodes, you would have spent a cumulative 20,000 days listening to me!
Wow! It is only fair that I listen to you for once! And that is what this episode is all about.
Thank you all for all your questions and comments. It was great to see how much you care about the story we have gone through. I really enjoyed reading them and I think I will attempt to answer all of them.
I did organise them by topic going from general to specific, so the podcast in general, the Sources, German history in general, the Hohenstaufen and then Frederick II and his sons.
The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.

To make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.
So far I have:
Salian Emperors and Investiture Controversy
Fredrick Barbarossa and Early Hohenstaufen
The Holy Roman Empire 1250-1356
The Reformation before the Reformation
The Empire in the 15th century
The Fall and Rise of the Habsburgs
★ Support this podcast ★A narrative history of the German people from the Middle Ages to Reunification in 1991. Episodes are 25-35 min long and drop on Thursday mornings every 2 weeks.
