  • A Forgotten War on the Edge of Empire (Live stream)
    Jan 5 2026

    Britain’s empire was built on more than famous battles. In this live Redcoat History discussion, I’m joined by Cam Simpson and Jon Pick to explore Britain’s forgotten frontier wars — from the North-West Frontier of India to Moorosi’s Rebellion in southern Africa. We’ll tackle the myths, the real fighting, and what life was actually like on the edge of empire — then open it up to your questions.

  • The Incredible History of Canada's Army: 1812-2025
    Dec 29 2025

    Canada has a rich military history. Alongside the British they stood toe-to-toe with the Americans in the war of 1812, battled the Boers, shocked the German's on the Western Front in both world wars and proved themselves amongst the world's greatest warrior nations.

    But do they still have what it takes?

    In this podcast, I explore both the past and the present of the Canadian army.

    Are there other nations armies you would like me to look into? I was thinking Australia and also South Africa could be next if this episode is well received.
