Geschiedonderzoek in podcasts stelt de zoektocht centraal, niet het resultaat
In this Hoe geschiedenis jij? Professor Pim Huijnen introduces the concept of historical podcast series. This format offers historians a way to show the everyday process behind their work.

Huijnen therefore calls on students and historians to go and explore the format of historical podcast series.
