What HN said
- mosiuerbarsoFeb 2022I love stuff like this. Thanks to the OP for suggesting this podcast, i'll be adding it to pocket casts.
As for history podcast suggestions, there are many decent podcasts for specifics historical eras or events. Here's a few of my favourites:
https://thehistoryofbyzantium.com/
https://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/revolutions_podcast/
and old one but still an excellent:

I have more on my phone, but they're specific to UK history (where i live).
I've not listened to first two in a while as I'm listen to a lot of history books via audible. But I've listened to the first 100 episodes of the Byzantium podcast and the Russian Revolution episodes in the Revolutions Podcast - both are really well researched and produced.
If any one loves listening to things about the rise/decline of civs I can recommend the audio book version of Oswald Spenglers Decline of the West:
https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Decline-of-the-West-Audiobo...
I plan to read the book version at some point but it's a bit of a tomb. So thought I'd approach it via the audio book first to get a better idea of the main concepts before reading it.
And i'm currently reading Arnold J. Toynbee - A Study of History, which is a fascinating look at the rise and fall of civs. It adds a different point of view to Spenglers theory and work.
- abalajiMar 2022Historia Civilis really is one of the most spectacular YouTube channels out there. Not much other content out there compares to his high quality research coupled with fantastic storytelling.
Once you've exhausted all of his videos, though, I would recommend Mike Duncan's History of Rome, an equally compelling podcast that cover Rome's rise in 753 b.c.e. to it's "fall" in 476 c.e. [1]

- jondwillisFeb 2022I just want to re-plug the Mike Duncan “The History of Rome” podcast that I heard about in one of the comment sections for previous parts of this series here on HN. I’m on episode 103!
