History of the Germans Guest Episode: A History of Italy on "A German Priest and a New Emperor"
Hello and welcome friends of the History of the Germans Podcast.
This week I will again showcase an independent history podcast I really like and listen to. And just to avoid any misunderstandings, I do this not for commercial reasons. This is literally so that you can find other great shows and well, I can have a break.
Today’s show is one you probably already know since I mention it regularly, Mike Corradi’s A History of Italy. Mike is funny, thorough and something I struggle with enormously, concise. And this recent episode is a prime example. He runs through half of our coming season and half of the season thereafter in 20 minutes. I enjoyed that and I hope it gives you a foretaste of what is to come here and what you can find at A History of Italy.
And so, without further ado Mike’s episode 189: “A German Priest and a New Emperor”.
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
