Why does Waterloo matter? How was it manipulated? And how did it become a business in its own right? Regular listeners of the show will know that these questions and much more have been covered by the Napoleonic Wars Podcast’s ‘Scholar in Residence’, Dr Luke ‘Memory’ Reynolds, in his critically acclaimed and award winning book Who Owned Waterloo. That book is now available in paperback, and to mark its release Luke sat down at The Lambs social and theatrical club with Professor of History Benjamin Carter Hett (https://twitter.com/BenjaminHett).

A less-than-Presidential, two hour broadcast, in which Zack has multiple aneurysms, Luke self proclaims to be a 'Scholar in Residence', and then refers to military history as 'Guns and balls and pointy things'.
We also do some serious historianing at some point in the broadcast.
This is a new style of content, in which we look at the state of Napoleonic history, new book releases, new historical dramas that are being released, and conferences you need to attend.

We discuss the realism debate, the unique insights and benefits that re-enactment offers, whether or not horses are terrifying, and the contentious subject of whether or not women should be allowed in the fighting line.

Sam Jolley, Charlotte White, Josh Provan and Kit Chapman (University of Falmouth) join me to dissect the movie as a piece of film making. We largely park the historical inaccuracies to explore the real reasons why this film has proven such a disappointment with fans of the period.
