Someone Finally Made a History Podcast About the Armenian Genocide
By the 1960s, Armenians were awakening to atrocities of 1915 at the hands of the Ottoman Turks, which had left an entire generation of parents and grandparents traumatized into silence. In the last sixty years, their descendants have been making up for lost time. Today there is an entire literature about the Genocide, which could likely fill a small library (there’s an idea!), consisting of scholarly texts, novels, newspaper articles, documentaries, photo stories and more. But one medium remained curiously absent: podcast.
Until recently, there was no resource dedicated exclusively to telling the detailed history of the Armenian Genocide in a compelling, narrative audio format. James Robins, a New Zealand-based journalist, has taken on the challenge in his latest project The Great Crime: A Podcast History of the Armenian Genocide.

Wow! Thank you so much for the depth of your research. My fear has been that our genocide would fade away into history as if it never happened. You are helping to give the Armenian genocide it’s rightfu place in history.
Thank you for Your time and attention. It is an important work not just for tge Armenians, but for the humanity as a whole.
I doubt that The impetus to remember the genocide of the Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks by the Ottoman Young Turks will ever fade away or die so long as Turkey continues to deny its part in that blood bath. I was bitten by it some years back and ended up writing a screenplay, “Such Times as These”, about Consul Leslie Ammerton Davis in Harput from 1913-1917. The play placed third in the L.A. International Screenwriters Contest for 1918. Thanks.
Have been listening and learning from your podcast for months and eagerly wait for each to drop. I am heartened by the fact that this beautifully researched work of history is being produced by a non-Armenian and can’t be diminished by Turkic revisionists. I look forward to your reporting on Turkish denialists and the modern day politics of recognition. Thanks.
