Spencer Mizen

Spencer is senior production editor of <em>BBC History Magazine</em>. Over the past 16 years working on the magazine, he’s sub-edited articles on (almost!) every conceivable historical topic, as well as written features on everything from Emperor Hadrian to the 20th-century obsession with science fiction. Part of Spencer’s role as production editor is to ensure that each issue of <em>BBC History Magazine</em> remains on schedule – a role he fulfils in rising degrees of urgency as deadline approaches! When he’s not gently reminding authors that their work was due yesterday, he likes to contribute to the <em>HistoryExtra</em> podcast, enjoying recording interviews on topics including the Wild West, the French Revolution and above all – as a keen fan of the Bristol Bears rugby team and Gloucestershire County Cricket Club – the history of sport.
