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 2: Favourite Miniatures

What can we learn from studying small, localised, and perhaps seemingly inconsequential incidents? Prof. Kate Ferris and Dr Huw Halstead unpick some compelling stories that reveal the richness and texture of everyday life history. Featuring special guests Prof Claire Langhamer (Institute of Historical Research, formerly University of Sussex), Dr Claire Eldridge (University of Leeds), Prof John Bennet (British School at Athens/University of Sheffield), Dr Claudio Hernández-Burgos (University of Granada), and Dr Joshua Arthurs (University of Toronto, formerly West Virginia University).

This podcast was originally published on 30th September 2020 as part of the ERC research project ‘Dictatorship as experience: A comparative history of everyday life and the ‘lived experience’ of dictatorship in Mediterranean Europe (1922-1975)’ led by Prof. Kate Ferris at the University of St Andrews.
