Summary
Do you want to hear* your favourite podcast hosts talk about your favourite fictional characters? Well, if that’s Tom & Dominic from The Rest Is History and the Winchesters from Supernatural, then you’re in luck.

I will admit that a large part of my motivation for writing this was simply so that I could use one of Tom’s favourite phrases as a title.

Arguing in a More Civilised Way by CookieDoughMe

Summary
Sometimes, friends argue with each other. Especially, perhaps, if they are also colleagues. But the argument isn’t the interesting part. What’s interesting is the part where the friendship continues all the same.

I’d written most of this before it occurred to me that the reason I’m writing it is the same thing that’s driven a lot of my other fic, namely a slight obsession with friendships that contain - or are perhaps even found on - disagreements, and which are therefore not threatened by arguments but strengthened by them.- Language:

The Rest Is Haven by CookieDoughMe
Fandoms: Haven (TV), The Rest is History (Podcast) RPF

Summary
Across the infinite possibilities of alternative universes, there is perhaps one out there where the events depicted across 78 episodes of Haven actually happened, where the people involved left behind enough journals, letters and newspaper articles for others to piece together at least some of the detail, and where two hosts of a popular history podcast decide this is a topic worth devoting an episode to.
(I realise there is no audience for this fic whatsoever, but it has been so fascinating to think through the Haven plotline, backstory and characters from this different perspective.)

“Vampire or angel, the difference between them is fairly narrow.” by CookieDoughMe
Fandoms: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV), The Rest is History (Podcast) RPF

Summary
Imagine a different version of historians Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook, in an alternative reality where vampire slayers are real and where it's acknowledged fact that several decades before, a vampire with a soul helped to save the world.
Because then just think - in that other universe, what better topic for an episode of ‘The Rest Is History’ podcast could there possibly be?
(The title is updated from the original descriptive-but-boring ‘The Rest Is Sunnydale’ to a quote from Tom in an episode from January 2022.)

Summary
I discovered 'The Rest Is History' fairly recently and have been storming through most of the back catalogue at a rate of knots. It's so fun! I'm also learning far more about history than I ever did at school.
I'm sure I'm not the first person to think of this, but here is my offering of a Rest Is History bingo card, or drinking game (please drink responsibly etc etc) or whatever :)
