Bonus episode: The Odyssey | Almost History

In this special bonus episode of Almost History, All About History team members Jonathan Gordon, Emily Staniforth and Callum McKelvie critique the historical accuracy of The Odyssey (2026), directed by Christopher Nolan. In a change to the usual format of the show, the Almost History panel analyse this adaptation of Homer's epic poem, what the film gets wrong, what it gets right and its historically interesting additions. Drawing on expert insight from recent All About History contributors, the team offers an objective analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of this new epic action movie.

Almost History, the 'What If' podcast from All About History is a speculative history show that explores the possibilities of the past, taking key moments from years gone by and turning them on their heads.

Regular readers of All About History magazine will be familiar with our recurring What If feature where we discuss alternate histories with experts. We find a key moment from the past and we chat about how that could have turned out differently.

We've been having these conversations with experts for many years and we wanted to bring them to you directly, so you can hear them for yourself.
