Jon Bauckham

Jon Bauckham is the Production Editor of <em>BBC History Magazine</em> and previously held the same role on <em>BBC History Revealed</em>. He is responsible for writing, editing and proofreading content, and ensuring that the magazine goes to press smoothly each month. When he’s not poring over pages with a red pen, he can be found recording episodes of the award-winning <em>HistoryExtra</em> podcast, chatting to authors about subjects ranging from Lord Kitchener to Russian pianos. Obsessed with the past from an early age, Jon holds a first-class honours degree in history from the University of Bristol and an advanced diploma in English local history from the University of Oxford. Thanks to a six-year stint writing about genealogy for <em>Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine</em>, he also enjoys digging up scandalous secrets in his friends’ family trees. You can find Jon on Twitter at @JonBauckham, where – aside from his thoughts on various historical topics – he mainly tweets about music, football and his unusual interest in windmills.
