Introducing the PastMaster World Map
Find out exactly where we've been in this interactive map of PastMaster episodes

Going Global.
Ever wondered where in the world Keon headbutted all those Vikings? Or exactly when Tan was busy trying to become a god in Ancient Sparta? Well, wonder no more, you magnificent time-travel enthusiasts!
We’ve rustled up an Interactive World Map – the perfect companion for keeping track of our increasingly chaotic attempts to meddle with history.
What's All This About Then?
For the uninitiated (welcome, by the way, you're in for a treat), PastMaster is the podcast that turns history into an AI-powered choose-your-own-adventure game. Where we navigate through different historical periods, attempting to reshape events with varying degrees of success and historical accuracy. Sometimes we prevent the Jack the Ripper murders, sometimes we accidentally alter Christianity by saving Jesus, and sometimes we just end up eating pulsating alien fruit in other dimensions when we only wanted to learn about Stonehenge. It's a mixed bag, really.
This new interactive map finally brings some much-needed order to our temporal chaos. Here's what you can expect:

⏳ Historical Timeline View
Not content with just spatial exploration? Switch to our timeline view to scroll through history from Ancient Egypt to the far future of 2985 (where, contrary to Busted's claims, people don't live underwater, but they do have some cracking quantum drinks).
Some Highlights To Explore
If you're new to the map, here are some pin-drops worth checking out:
1613 London: Where we witnessed the Globe Theatre fire with historian Marc Zakian while drinking ales with names like "Mad Dog" and "Go By The Wall"
1805 HMS Victory: The location of Nick's oddly successful attempt to revolutionise naval warfare through board games
Pre-Big Bang Void: Where Heidi Reigan's attempt to understand what came before time itself resulted in being told off for calling the void "a slag"
30th Century Neo Tokyo: Where Keon tried (and spectacularly failed) to prevent the Great Data Wipeout by headbutting cybernetically enhanced guards
So there you have it! Whether you're a long-time listener who wants to revisit our greatest hits, or a newcomer trying to figure out where to start, our interactive map is your perfect guide to the temporal disaster zone we call PastMaster.
Give it a spin, click a few pins, and remember – if you ever find yourself in 1959 Blackpool trying to convince Hugh Gaitskell to adopt Right to Buy housing policy decades early, make sure to also catch the Quarrymen at a local club. It's just good time management.
Happy time-hopping!
