Elsewhere on the site you will find the music video I produced to accompany Billy Joel’s song We Didn’t Start the Fire. Suggestions on how history teachers might incorporate the song and video into a lesson sequence on historical significance can be found here.
I also write and host a daily ‘on this day in history’ podcast at www.HistoryPod.net. I’ve created hundreds of 2-3 minute long podcasts covering a whole range of historical periods and events. Those that relate to the history revision topics on this website are also linked to directly.

Your podcast are brilliant and have been very useful. Had a question i wanted to ask when answering a part c question in a paper 1 igcse exam how many paragraphs should your preferably have to provide a balance argument?
You need two arguments on each side to secure up to 9 marks – add a fully supported conclusion to that if you are aiming for the full 10. So you are really aiming for 4 main body paragraphs plus a fifth which is the conclusion.
Just had a quick view of your Youtube History Pod on Thomas Stevens who was the first to cycle round the world on a pennyfarthing. I am a volunteer writer for our Northern Cross Roman Catholic newspaper and am doing a series on bikes. I saw the reference to T Stevens in a Christmas present book by Johan Tell, ‘En Cyclo Pedia’ under ‘A’ for adventure. On page 15 under ‘A’ for attitude he tells of newspaper adverts in the USA for revolvers as the ‘Cyclist’s Friend’ so cyclists could defend themselves against aggressive motorists. May I quote from your History Pod on Stevens?
hey there! I’m a student from Bangalore. I’m studying for my 10th grade boards (IGCSE history 20th century, depth study B) and I am so relieved to have found this website! such a savior!
Hello, your website is absolutely filled with amazing resources! I am currently doing my PGCE year and your website is just amazing! I have seen the ‘Significance Tournament’ that you have done and I was just wondering if you could direct me to a template, it looks like a great activity! Many thanks.
Hi Ben. Thanks for taking the time to write – I’m glad you’re finding my site helpful, and wish you well on your PGCE! You’ll be looking for the ‘March Madness’ causation debate bracket. The link is here – https://www.mrallsophistory.com/revision/march-madness-8-team-causation-debate-bracket.html
Hi, I adore your videos and they’ve helped me so much. I’m currently in my first year of A-levels and I was wondering if you do anything on the origins of WW1? Thank you for everything!
Thank you for such a nice comment 🙂 I have a detailed series of podcasts on the origins of WW1 for A Level – check out the series at https://www.mrallsophistory.com/revision/category/a-level-and-ib-history-revision/european-diplomacy-before-the-first-world-war
Thank you so much!
do you have anything on the Vietnam War???
Yes, plenty – Vietnam entries start at the fourth entry on this page https://www.mrallsophistory.com/revision/category/gcse-and-igcse-history-revision/international-relations-since-1945/page/5 and continues on the next page with the withdrawal (https://www.mrallsophistory.com/revision/category/gcse-and-igcse-history-revision/international-relations-since-1945/page/6)
My students love you!
Your podcasts are always so clear and easy to understand and derive points from. They are a big reason why I got an A* in my History IGCSE. So thank you, and I will keep using your podcasts. ( I am doing IB and taking History HL)
Thank you for the summarized revision questions and answers Mr. Allsop… It was of colossal help!
Your podcasts are so great for revision for IGCSE Paper 1 & 2, thank you so much! I was wondering if you could put your podcasts on Spotify (as I’ll be studying history for A-Levels too)?
Thanks for your message. I have submitted my podcasts to Spotify, but they manually curate and approve submissions so I’m not sure if/when they might appear on the platform.
