The History Minute: Recent Episodes
Helgi Steinar Gunnlaugsson
The History Minute is a short and sweet comedy podcast where historical topics are covered in about 10 minutes or less. The podcasts are all recorded in Iceland by local comedian Helgi Steinar!
In this podcast, comedian Helgi Steinar tries on a Russian accent before delving into the deep and fascinating history of the country itself. All the way from the tribes of the 9th century, to the fall of the Soviet Union and beyond!
In this first podcast, Helgi takes aside 10 minutes to talk about 20th century China. How the country became what it is, from a rural backwater in the midst of war to the giant red dragon everyone fears today.
