Away with the Pharaohs
Step into the world of the pharaohs with a podcast that brings Egypt to life in ways you’ve never heard before. Hosted by Charlotte Jordan, Engagement Manager at the Egypt Exploration Society, this series blends academic expertise with lively storytelling to explore the marvels and myths that have fascinated the world for centuries.
Drawing on the Egypt Exploration Society’s unparalleled collections and network of world-leading Egyptologists, we invite you to go beyond the stereotypes and explore what ancient and medieval Egypt can teach us about power, identity, and human ingenuity. Each episode tackles a theme at the heart of Egyptian history and culture, pointing out details that you may be surprised to learn about this popular civilisation. Entertaining, thought-provoking, and always grounded in evidence, this is heritage with both style and substance—perfect for curious minds ready to dig a little deeper.
We will be releasing an introductory episode on 30 September 2025 for #InternationalPodcastDay with EES Director Carl Graves. Our first main episode will be released on 1 October 2025 answering the question: Were pharaohs just ‘pyramid scheme’ leaders —or building a true legacy? with Professor Aidan Dodson. We'll continue to share our main episodes at the start of each month, but keep an eye out for bonus content as well!
