Since the series ended on Friday, we’ve had a few questions about how long the programmes will be available for and the best way to get hold of them.
The good news is that all the programmes – every single episode – are going to be available online for at least the next two years.
That means you can listen again on the page for each object, or via iPlayer, or download an episode to your pc or media player. Of course the great thing about downloading them is that they are then yours to keep.
Several people have also been asking if there is any way for them to download all 100 episodes without having to right-click on each one and ‘Save as’.
I can see how that might quickly get a little tiresome but I have good news for you here too. You can indeed download them all in one go by subscribing to A History of the World as a podcast. That way you can choose to ‘Get all’ episodes and all them will be downloaded in one big rush.
The ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Podcasts pages have help with subscribing to podcasts – as well the ever-present terms and conditions.
So you’ve no excuse not to catch up on the ones you’ve missed and indeed collect them all and start all over again - two million years ago in the Olduvai gorge.

ENOUGH ALREADY! Next time can the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ spend its money on making the fantastic back catalogue of drama available on IPlayer rather than a white middle class Oxbridge educated intellectual pontificating about his museum. I did like the defaced Suffragettist coins though but that was about it - maybe I am a 20th century girl and Babylonians just don't do it for me!
