Show notes

The is first of what we hope will become a series of weekly podcasts with presenters at the Cambridge American History Seminar. Dr Alex Goodall, senior lecturer in International History at University College London, sits down with Lewis Defrates to talk about his paper "Soot, Palm Trees, and Zinc: Modernization, Sensation and Hybridity in the American Tropical Port System During the First Age of Globalization", before moving on to discuss fiction, research in Nicaragua and Spotify algorithms! Feel free to get in touch via @camericanist on Twitter or [email protected] if you have any questions, suggestions or feedback for the future (I know I need to work on my 'podcast voice', so we'll consider that a work in progress!). Thanks for listening!
