James Osborne

James Osborne is a digital content producer at HistoryExtra where he writes, researches, and edits articles, while also appearing as a host on the HistoryExtra podcast. After completing his degree in bioarchaeology at the University of York he worked as an entertainment journalist for half a decade covering TV and film with bylines in the likes of Vulture, RadioTimes, GamesRadar, Screen Rant, The A.V. Club, Digital Spy, and the official Star Trek website. During this time, he interviewed everyone from Rupert Grint, to the cast of The Witcher. Now, he's returned to his historical roots where his interests lie in prehistoric archaeology, ancient mythology, the history of agriculture and food, and military history. So, ideally he'd be writing about a Neolithic, anthropomorphic deity who loves to fight and bake bread.
