Rose Marie's Substack

My personal Substack

Alex Churchill’s HistoryStack

TV Presenter/Historian (FRHistS). MRes. That makes me sound like an adult. Which is a lie. I guess, come for those credentials, stay for the sarcastic, sweary version of history? 20th Century Military, royals, older wars boats and other rabbit holes.

20 Percent Berlin

By Andrew Bulkeley

Berlin's news in English for the 20 percent of Berliners without a German passport.

Excellent source of latest news from Berlin for English-speaking audience. Extra advantage? It's serious news but passed in a light tone, so it doesn't hurt too much when you read yet again about your S-Bahn not coming, the U-Bahn not going or the fact that, technically speaking, many Berlin's schools are stuck in 1992. Highly recommended newsletter!
