Welcome to Miniatures, the Podcast for the History of Everyday Life. We show how the big picture in history is best seen through the assemblage of individual and local stories, what the German historian Alf Lüdtke called ‘miniatures’. We discuss all aspects of the history of everyday life, microhistory, and ‘history from below’, featuring interviews and discussion with experts in the field. Between 2020 and 2024 this podcast was supported by the European Research Council as part of the 'Dictatorship as Experience Project' at the University of St Andrews.

Miniatures Episode 17: Everyday Food Histories with Dr Sarah Frank and Dr Peggy Brunache

Miniatures is Back! New episodes every 2nd Monday, starting this week!

What can couscous, Soul Food and meat-free meals tell us about the everyday lives of people in the past?
