History Rocks podcasts are presented by experienced examiners. They are designed for students studying AQA A level History. Much of the advice is just as applicable to the other examination boards. Listen to a range of topics such as how to tackle provenance? How to write an introduction? Or what is analysis? We welcome any feedback or requests, so please contact us on our twitter handle @myhistoryrocks or email us hello@historyrocks.co.uk.
