Hello everybody, welcome to Dance Know's History. A question that I only get asked about three times

an hour is, are we all set for another roaring 20s? As we escape blinking from the confines of

our own basements and sellers into this brave new world, are we going to be looking at another

decade of wild partying? Or are our impressions of that wild decade just made up and based on

watching Leonardo DiCaprio in the Great Gatsby? Were the roaring 20s a thing? What were they like?

And might we get another piece of it a hundred years later? By coincidence, as we hopefully begin

to return to a more normal life after this pandemic. I've got one of the more brilliant people that I

have on this podcast regularly. Professor Sarah Churchill, she's chairing the public understanding

of the humanities at the University of London. She's written about the 1920s at you've heard her on this

podcast before. We talked about American fascism and whether it's useful or right to refer to that

in its historical context. And that's showing to me again to talk about the 20s. And it turns out

they were a bit of a thing and you know we might see a bit of a repeat. So it's exciting stuff.

This will get you in the mood as we come out of the Easter weekend. As we move here in the UK anyway

towards loosening of the restrictions and the US as restrictions have been loosened in many states.

This might get us back in the mood for wild, licentious socialising. Only when it's safe to do so

folks, listen to your public health authorities. If you wish to listen to other podcasts that

Sarah Churchill has been in while then we got plenty right over on historyhit.tv, our digital

history channel, the Netflix for history. Oh, we've got so much exciting stuff coming up for you.

I can't wait to tell everyone about it. Hey over there you get what to watch lots of documentaries

on history. You get to listen to a presser Sarah Churchill and many other wonderful historians.

It's got it all. So history lovers paradise. It's like the 1920s every day on historyhit.tv.

But in the meantime, enjoy Professor Churchill.
