Anything covering ancient Irish history? Ideally as early as possible, even neolithic. In Ireland for a couple weeks and would love to have something to listen to while driving.

I don't have recommendations, but a quick search of "history of Ireland" turns up the Irish history podcast, which has been running since 2013 and the early episodes seem like what you're asking about. Can't be that bad if it's been running for ten years? But I haven't listened at all so caveat emptor

It’s myth and legend rather than history but Candlelit Tale is quite good. More from a historiographical angle, like the battles of Moytura never happened (unless you want to get fully into ‘the Fir Bolg represent this ethnic group, the Tuatha Dé represent this ethnic group’ which is questionable at best) but it’s valuable for looking at how Irish scholars/antiquarians from the early medieval period through to pretty much the 18th/19th century thought about Irish history. Just generally good fun too, both the performances of the mythic pieces and the contextual discussions around them.

Perfect suggestions! The early episodes of The Irish History Podcast were exactly what I wanted, and the mythology ones are right up my alley. Thanks!

I'm looking for history podcasts on Spain. Currently catching up with Reconquista which I'm enjoying, but I'm also interested in more modern history, from the civil war through to the end of Franco. If there's any options in English that would be great, otherwise I'd be tempted to take a very slow run at something in Spanish if anyone has suggestions.

Anyone have good recommendations for an American Revolutionary Period / Founding Fathers type of podcast? The girlfriend has been watching Hamilton and was asking about something that covers the actual personalities involved. Mike Duncan covers it in Revolutions, though my recollection of the series is that that season was before it really got good at all, and I'm not sure how much it covered all the Founding Fathers and their conflicts.

The episode about Frederick the Great with Stephen Fry that started the current season off is probably a good introduction.

Lawman 0 posted:I'm really been appreciating the History of Persian podcast recently. I feel like the usual histories run with the greek narrative only and it's good to be able to draw fresh perspectives from the more obscure non Greek sources. History of Persia pairs really well with Oldest Stories. As for who to root for in history, as Duncan says "History is written by the people who write"

I honestly thought it was cancelled but Mobituaries is back! It's very much a "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me panelist hosts a historical obituaries podcast for CBS" vibe but it does that very well. Under an hour, tightly edited, pretty straightforward celebrations of the subjects.

Anyone know any good podcast about republican Rome other than History of Rome? I finished Revolutions a few weeks back and decided to give History of Rome another listen (crazy it’s been 10 years); I know it gets better as it goes, but what I actually want to hear about in depth is the republican era and that’s the period he goes over at blazing speed and when he had noticeably way less experience.

I'm trying to figure out why I don't like the Russian Revolution episodes as much as the French. I don't know if it's much I badly understood the French revolution compared to the Russian, or if it's the centrality of Paris and the tighter narrative and setting it gives, or the sort of series of seemingly accidental events that lead into the French Revolution, but something about the French Revolutions episodes are so much more compelling to me than these Russian episodes. It's a drat shame because this is the last Revolutions Podcast and I just really haven't been feeling it - I've got ten or so episodes left, all downloaded on my phone, and I can't really be assed to finish them.

I feel like where you are is a perfectly reasonable place to tap out, because the revolution's pretty much over at that point, though if you haven't listened to Kronstadt yet that's probably one of the better stopping points.

I tried Revolutions but it's usually a bit too in-depth and dry for my tastes. I did finish the Haitian Revolution and loved it, but it was such an interesting story. Couldn't get past like 15 episodes of the French or South American ones.

Couldn't get past like 15 episodes of the French or South American ones. Duncan talked in the appendix look back episode that while he's not exactly happy about the later revolutions blowing up into so many episodes as they did, he simply doesn't see how he could have condensed something like the Russian revolution into 10 episodes. Having since finally sat down and listened to Blowback S1 (10/10, highly recommend) I... don't know if I agree with him? Like hey I'm not a historian or a podcaster so it's not my place to tell Duncan he's wrong, but Blowback condenses ~50 years of US/Iraq foreign relations including two wars into a very digestible 10 hour long episodes and manages to hit major points while also occasionally getting to stop and dwell on important details or events. Frankly I think by the end of Revolutions Duncan is getting way too bogged down in unneeded minutia to the point where it's actually kind of difficult to keep grasp of the main through line.

I didn't think there was that much unneeded minutie. Like, at the time I couldn't give less of a poo poo about the differences between different types of anarchists and communists, but it was actually needed when it came to explaining all the various post war uprisings and who the various stakeholders were. Like, it's a lot less bad than the history of England podcast spinning its wheels trying to hold off the civil war or the history of Byzantium trying to hold off 1204

I wouldn't want him to have done Russia in 10 episodes or anything, but I feel like there's a big middle ground between 10 and 100+, and even erring on the high end could have led to something leaner that would have worked. But I enjoyed the season overall so I'm not angry about it, just kind of amused at how unwieldy it became. If anything I wish England in particular had been a bit longer, because for a podcast that ended up spending so much time on the connective tissue between various revolutions, not doing anything about the Glorious Revolution is a pretty big gap between the English Civil War and the American Revolution. I think he's expressed that regret himself though, so it's not something he's unaware of.

Also the Greek revolution... But then the podcast was never billed as some flawless edifice, but more a spotlight on a number of more-or-less loosely connected events

When these things get too into a ton of specific names of successions of people involved they lose me. I either like a 10,000 ft. view of events or spending a really long time on a small group of people.
