  • Joan of Arc: The truth behind the legend

    Joan of Arc: The truth behind the legend
    Sep 6 2026
    From peasant to martyr, rebellious teenager to national icon, Joan of Arc’s story is one of the most remarkable chapters of medieval history. But how much is it grounded in reality? And what does her meteoric rise, and equally dizzying decline, tell us about the importance of persuasion, self-belief, and leadership authority? In this episode, Mike Soutar is joined by historian, author and broadcaster Janina Ramirez to explore those questions and more – and to investigate just how far having the courage of your convictions can take you. ——— GO BEYOND THE PODCAST For more on Joan of Arc's life and times, don’t miss our curated collection of articles, podcasts and videos: ⁠https://www.historyextra.com/period/general-history/beyond-the-podcast-historys-greatest-leaders/⁠ Watch Mike’s interview with Janina on our YouTube channel here: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@historyextra⁠ And check out the HistoryExtra app for our full archive here: ⁠https://www.historyextra.com/the-historyextra-app/ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Genghis Khan: The brutal warlord’s lessons for today

    Genghis Khan: The brutal warlord’s lessons for today
    Aug 30 2026
    The trail of devastation that Genghis Khan left in his wake means that his name is now synonymous with brutality and bloodshed. But there’s another side to the medieval Mongol leader that we should also consider – his ability to manage a complex organisation. So how did he combine destruction with administration to become so terrifyingly successful? And why might this success have lessons for us in the 21st century? To explore these questions and more, Mike Soutar is joined by historian and author Nicholas Morton, who offers new insights into why this figure of fear is more complicated than we might expect. ——— GO BEYOND THE PODCAST For more on Genghis Khan's life and times, don’t miss our curated collection of articles, podcasts and videos: ⁠https://www.historyextra.com/period/general-history/beyond-the-podcast-historys-greatest-leaders/⁠ Watch Mike’s interview with Nicholas on our YouTube channel here: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@historyextra⁠ And check out the HistoryExtra app for our full archive here: ⁠https://www.historyextra.com/the-historyextra-app/⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
