Organizational History Network If you listen to podcasts, or indeed follow any other newsletters on Substack, you will have noticed that there is quite an appetite for history (though perhaps not necessarily business history). So you may be interested in seeing that Bloomberg has taken note of this piece of the well-known “The Rest is History” podcast (from the same stable as “The Rest is Entertainment” etc.) If you want to take a look at Bloomberg’s reporting, here is the article: https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/company-news/2025/01/03/the-business-of-history-is-booming/ Personally, as I am getting more into podcasts (Mystery! Sci-Fi! Horror! and yes also HE politics and news and such like) I was slightly bemused to find that my favourite history podcast was not included - The Fall of Civilisations. Fascinating, in-depth (many episodes are three hours long) and beautifully produced. And, of course, I should mention the excellent New Books Network (they have a Substack presence, too) which runs the widely listened to Economic and Business History podcast, hosted by colleagues such as Paula de la Cruz-Fernandez and Bernardo Batiz-Lazo. I’ve done two interviews there about recent new books, which was great fun, and it is a great resource to learn more about the many interesting books out there.
My final plug here is not so history specific, but for a colleague in Finance, Brian Lucy who runs the Journals 101 podcast. While a little finance-centric in the journal selection, he ranges far and wide and has, for example, interviewed Paolo Quattrone about Organization Studies. I talked to Brian about Business History on the podcast last year, but when we both discovered that we are Sci-Fi fans that was the end of any professional conversation ;-) And while some people say that podcasts are clearly past their prime when academics get involved with them (probably true) they are still a fun medium not just for research dissemination but also for professional debate and as a knowledge resource. Organizational History Network is free today. But if you enjoyed this post, you can tell Organizational History Network that their writing is valuable by pledging a future subscription. You won't be charged unless they enable payments.
