Thanks for dipping your toes in the figurative waters here with the Maritime History Podcast! I'm Brandon Huebner and I'll briefly introduce the podcast and explain why I think maritime history is an integral and overlooked facet of world history. It makes for many a fascinating story, and the podcast here will cover as many of those as we can, so hop aboard and join us for the voyage!

In this introduction you ask for suggestions regarding future podcasts.
I would like to suggest to you to tell this story

your way – with less entertainment and unrestrained bewilderment, but more research and facts.
Ancient shipbuilding and navigation. Contemporary attempts at mimicking. Like the Kon Tiki expedition.
Just my 2 cents.
I love the suggestion and you might be happy to know that I’ve gotten this request multiple times now. It is definitely high on my to-do list for topics to cover! I love the region and the questions/theories that it raises concerning sea navigation, but also everything that comes with it.
The main holdup right now is just my relative lack of knowledge compared to some other time periods or regions. I’ve gotten through a few books on Polynesia and have a few more on my list before I can bring much to the table, but I’m definitely working toward a series of episodes on this topic 😉
If you have any source suggestions or any other thoughts, I’d be glad to hear them!
