Turkey Book Talk

Quick announcement to say that Turkey Book Talk is up and active on Substack at TurkeyBookTalk.substack.com.

From now on, text transcripts of all our interviews will be posted there, accessible to everyone who supports the podcast as a member. Of course, the podcast will also continue to be published as normal in audio form.

You can become a member on either Patreon or Substack for the (rough) equivalent of $3 per episode. Sign up via Patreon or via Substack. Just like Patreon members, Substack members also get access to the 35% discount on all Turkey/Ottoman History books published by IB Tauris/Bloomsbury.

I’ve taken this step based on feedback, replacing our previous system of sending out PDF transcripts via email. Hopefully this will make everything more simple.

If you are an existing member, you already have access to the Substack page and you will be able to view all transcripts there from now on.

The first post on the Substack is the transcript of our most recent episode: Vladimir Hamed-Troyansky on Muslim refugees in the Ottoman Empire.

As always, massive thanks to everyone who listens to or reads the interviews. I’m looking forward to putting out many more episodes!
