TEACHING HARD HISTORY
From Learning for Justice and host Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Ph.D., Teaching Hard History brings us the crucial history we should have learned through the voices of leading scholars and educators. The series, which includes four seasons that originally aired from 2018 to 2022, begins with the long and brutal legacy of slavery and reaches through the victories of and violent responses to the Civil Rights Movement and Black Americans’ experiences during the Jim Crow era to the issues we face today. Join us as we relaunch this podcast series, highlighting an episode each week and including a new resource page with key points from the conversation, resources and connections for building learning experiences.

SPIRIT OF THE NORTH
To celebrate the North of England’s people and places, Historic England set photographer John Kippin a challenge to explore the ‘Spirit of the North’. This podcast series explores how the places he photographed, and the people he met, capture the North’s extraordinary history of creativity, innovation and cultural influence. We're setting out to discover whether there truly is a “Spirit of the North”. The photographs are part of "The Great Exhibition of The North" and can be viewed until September 9th 2018 at Bessie Surtees House in Newcastle. #spiritofthenorth

THE SICARIO EFFECT
The Sicario Effect is a new series from Exclave Media. Jhon Jairo Velasquez Vasquez alias “Popeye” was Pablo Escobar’s top lieutenant and The Medellin Cartel's chief sicario (assassin). He’s publicly admitted to having personally killed 300 people. In 2014, after 23 years in prison, Popeye was released. Rather than lay low and enjoy his new freedom, he took to the internet and became a social media star, “Popeye the Repentant”. And as we discovered, that’s just the beginning. This is a story about crime, drugs, corruption, and a country’s fight to control their narrative about the past, present, and future.
