In 2019, we started a new series at The Great Courses called “This Day in History.” Each episode introduces an important event in history, and features a short clip from a Great Courses lecture.
In addition to writing many of the introductions in this series, I’ve also voiced several of them. Here’s a running list (click the title to link to the video):
April 22, 1509: King Henry VIII Begins His Reign
July 27, 1953: The Korean War Ends
August 6, 1945: The United States Drops the First Atomic Bomb
August 24, AD 79: Mount Vesuvius Destroys Pompeii
I also voiced the opening credits of Learning French: A Rendez-Vous with French-Speaking Culture.
