Most people think of modern campaigns, such as propaganda posters during World War I, when they hear the word 'propaganda'. But did you know that during the Reformation Protestants and Catholics alike used images in their own propaganda campaigns? Find out more about Protestant Propaganda.

Great podcast this week.

You touched on something that fascinates me - the history of the printing press. It is amazing that the technology spread as quickly as it did.

A few years ago Stephen Fry presented a documentary called "The Machine That Made Us." I highly recommend it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiamVHT2Hz4). Besides being very entertaining it illustrates each step in the creation of Gutenberg's press and the various crafts needed to make it work.

Keep up the good work!
