Aaron Potter

Hello I’m Aaron and like most other people you’ll find on this website I love writing about history, so much that I chose to study it in my home city of Bristol. Whether it’s the super secret tactics of Bletchley Park’s ULTRA during the WWII Blitz or Ireland’s troubled past in not having enough potatoes during the 1840’s, I love finding out what made the important people of history tick. There are is only one past but many histories, and it’s in researching these histories which gets me pumped as I discover a possible untold story.

When I’m not trudging through archives or writing about the past, you can find me sharing my thoughts about all things gaming related at www.rockingameskid.blogspot.co.uk and critiquing movies and movie news on my weekly podcast www.thepictureblock.com.

Hi, my name is Niall. I’ve been fascinated by history since I was very young and I loved my history lessons at school. I know how important it is to make history accessible and interesting for all ages. I like to surround myself with ideas and learning.
