A friend just started a podcast on gamification in education. I'm biased but there's good stuff here for educators or folks who like to think about games in general. Podcast - Game Level Learn: Episode 1 https://overcast.fm/+Hcw1P9lmw

Without discounting the idea that some theoretical third party might in some future day be acceptable,. the problem is that the third parties we actually have are both complete non-starters.

But Byzantium is cool and good and it deserves a better spot in European history than it has. I dont think there is one that focusses on say the Carolingians or the Holy Roman Empire.

100YrsofAttitude posted:There's 46 episodes at this point, at 8 minutes each, and they seem to be embedded in the larger La Fabrique d'histoire podcast by France Culture. I've actually begun to listen to this in earnest and it's really good. I think you'll need more than high school French to get it, but no more than decent level to get by. The language isn't too difficult and the people who speak do so pretty clearly. The passages themselves are quick tidbits and because of the 8 minutes there isn't too much detail, but episode 28 was pretty interesting since they talked about how Little Golden Books were used in some way as pro-American propaganda, considering their creator, a americanized Frenchman Georges Duplaix, also worked for the CIA in some capacity it seems. So yeah, Cold War from a French perspective. If you can deal with the language I really recommend it.

On this note, the History Of England podcast does at least two episodes on events in the rest of Europe every century or so, as well covering mainland Europe events directly relevant to the narrative as it goes. The main narrative has reached 1485.

mike12345 posted:Finished Inward Empire's Sword of the Wilderness pt. 2 yesterday. The quality of the writing is really impressive at times, who is this guy? Recommend. Also liking History on Fire's series on Caravaggio, worth checking out if you like the idea of a renaissance art gangster. Agreed on Inward Empire. I'm a New Englander, so Sword of the Wilderness was fascinating, and the writing is top-notch. Haven't heard a bad episode yet. I'll have to check out History on Fire again, I listened to some of the early podcasts and was kinda meh.

The physics lessons are definitely more my taste than pop-culture science. Thanks. Also I found the podcast Star Hopping recently which helps a lot with locating nebulae and star-clusters in my telescope. I recommend it to any astronomy lovers.

For astronomy podcasts, 365 Days of Astronomy is still running 7 years later with daily episodes, usually 5-10 minutes long: https://cosmoquest.org/x/365daysofastronomy/ Individual days can be highly variable in quality, especially in the first few years, but there's a lot of people who are good and have regular appearances. There also used to be a separate feed that concatenated the 7 episodes a week into a single episode, so that you would only have to hear the standard intro and outro music once per week, but the maintainers stopped doing it around 2012.

By the way, any idea how long the latest series in Revolutions is going to be? I don't listen to them until they're all up, and I'm just curious. It's definitely a subject I'm interested in.

Bolivar has almost had his whole story told, the other liberators are who he's talking about now, and then he'll move on to Mexico, I believe. The only problem is the delays that are gonna be caused by the holidays/his family/writing his book.

The next revolution he's doing is 1848, not Mexican. Also, I only listened to one of the fundraiser THOR episodes, but it's good.

uhh this is late but lol Dan Carlin warlord of the "weird white guys too into WW2" or WWWWWWWWW, Adolf Hitler is not a valid equal example of men "driven mad by power" alongside Alexander the Great and Cyrus founder of the Persian Empire. Pretty sure the dude was mad before he got power, the fact that he got crazier doesn't exactly put him there. "you know, he had some good ideas before everything went crazy though...hey whats your favorite tank used on the eastern front??"

If anyone wants to hear Nate silver flipping the gently caress out over people dismissing polling and not taking him as seriously anymore, listen to the latest 538 podcast. God drat, he gets salty and starts banging on about polls being a first amendment right.

So even Nate Silver pulled the "criticizing my free speech is trying to impede it!!!" b.s.? That's usually more an eye roll worthy right wing tactic Like...who's trying to stop him from doing polls??

Italy, apparently. In that context it's a lot less insane than rotinaj put it but it's also silly to yell about first amendment rights in a country that doesn't have the first amendment.

Again, Silver's answer was more about answering "what do you think about doing something like Italy has (restricting polling 3 weeks prior to an election) here in the US". So while Silver's right (that it would be a restriction of 1st amendment rights), I think a lot of journalists (rightly or wrongly) tend to be super touchy about their 1st amendment rights almost reflexively.
