Lars Brownworth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lars Brownworth, a former United States history and political science teacher at the Stony Brook School, is the creator of the top 50 podcast, 12 Byzantine Rulers: The History of the Byzantine Empire. This podcast was created on a whim by Lars and his brother, Anders Brownworth. Often mistaken for a college professor or historian, Lars is, in fact, a high school history teacher. He has moved on, and is no longer teaching high school. He is currently residing in North Carolina with his brother Anders, and plans to write a book.
On August 15th, 2007 Mr. Brownworth announced that he has resigned from teaching in order to work on book project with Crown Publishing.
He has been interviewed by the New York Times and NPR's "Here and Now".
