In Fall 2020, the Roy Rozenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University launched a new podcast on consular history called “Consolation Prize.” The host and executive producer is Prof. Abby Mullen, an expert on the Barbary Wars. When they were originally recording, I had a nasty case of laryngitis, so my work was quoted in Episode 1, but I did not directly participate. Fortunately, my voice eventually came back, and Abby and I were able to do an interview. That’s available as Bonus Episode 1: What Is a Consul, Anyway? Check out all the episodes in this awesome series! You can listen, or you can read transcripts on the web. The first series is focused on US consuls during the Early Republic, but they have exciting plans for discussing other time periods and foreign consuls in upcoming series!
