Even though it's expected it will never cease to amaze me that the people with the worst opinions on this situation and others where the "right" opinion is very clear if you have any understanding of history and society are those that have read and spoken about history the most.

Speaking of Carlin, he just posted part two of Twilight of the Aesir and its just over 6 hours long.

Didn't he used to do a current-day politics show? I can't be bothered to listen to that one, I'm not a big Carlin fan. He's a good storyteller, but really poor as a historian.

Yeah, he stopped his Common Sense show a few years back I think. I only listened a couple of times, his shtick was basically “I’m non partisan” “truth is in the middle” “both sides are bad” kind of stuff, which doesn’t really work when one side is openly espousing white supremacist rhetoric.

Trump winning broke his political view and he stepped away from the show after that, though there's been the odd episode since.

The Rest Is History just wrapped an eight-part series on the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs and I thought it was pretty good imo. A good companion piece to the Fall of Civilizations episode.

Did Carlin get an editor? This episode is unusually well-structured. The tangents are relevant and interesting. He's citing stuff from previous episodes. He's taking more care than usual to note the books/translations he's referencing. He's actually sticking to a theme. I'm not finished yet so maybe it will devolve into Batman boxing Clint Eastwood but so far this seems like his strongest offering in years.

Yowza, almost 11 years ago  I can only speak for history-focused stuff, but I'm currently subscribed to: - Behind the Bastards - Tides of History - Blowback - Empire - Slow Burn - Fall of Civilisations - The Dollop Mike Duncan finished up with Revolutions about a year ago, and although he'd announced his next project was a non-fiction book review podcast, I don't think anything has been launched yet. Dan Carlin is still going with Hardcore History, though at the same "one a year, maybe" frequency he's been at for a while now. I'm kinda over his style but others still seem to like it. In Our Time keeps on trucking, though I haven't listened to that for a long time. I assume it's probably still great if you want to hear professors argue while a British aristocrat snipes at them.

And if you'd want something more light, but still British, there is You're Dead to Me.

In Our Time is still good but Melvyn Bragg does sound every one of his 84 years. Perfectly sharp and still getting amusingly mock-annoyed when a guest veers off-script, just audibly an elderly guy wheezing a bit. Separately I’ve been enjoying some of the New Books Network podcasts: new books in history, in archaeology, etc. They’re all interviews with authors of just-published academic works so they often at least aware of the cutting edge and go into a lot of detail. It’s a real firehouse of content though, they seem to have hosts or representatives from all over, meaning that if you don’t narrow the focus, your feed pulls in a few eps each day.

Byzantium and Friends is super crunchy interviews with academics. Pax Brittanica is a long form history of post Elizabethan England and the host in the most recent episode announced his PhD completion. 99 percent invisible is good too. On that- I've noticed a lot of episodes in their back catalogue that just happen to go into Us military puff stuff. Is there any gossip about them getting military sponsorship?

He did mention boxing before the end of the podcast but it didn't seem unreasonable. I'd stopped listening during Supernova pt2. This one, and it's prequel, are quite worth listening to imo.

Seconding history of Byzantium and Friends of, they are top tier podcasts. The Partial Historians should probably be listed too, even if they've barely made it to the actual history parts of Roman history lol (also they might be there now I'm still catching up) Also the Eurasian Knot, nee the SRB Podcast. I've really enjoyed the Foreign Affairs Interview as well, nice insight into the imperial mindset of the old global hegemon. PittTheElder fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Dec 31, 2023 |

Seconding Partial Historians. Peopling the Past is also great, about non-elites in ancient history, and History of Egypt is probably my favorite mono-subject podcast. All three are run by academics which is nice too.

I went on a philosophy podcast search a few years ago, and here are the podcasts that actually stuck with me: Philosophize This! - Coming in as someone with a pretty poor conception of 20th century philosophy, this was good for getting a quick survey of philosophy that doesn't assume prior knowledge. The host can be a little obnoxious, but it was a good foundation. History of Philosophy Without Any Gaps - If you want to go hard on background, this is the podcast to go for. I got about 100 episodes in, and do not think I even hit 0AD. Looking at their website, I think they're in the 1600s right now with episode numbers in the 400s. The host is a little dry, but not bad. Plastic Pills - This is the philosophy podcast I ended up on, which I really strongly like. The hosts are a mix of "ideas don't matter, material conditions matter" hard-left, phenomenology, and social liberal political theory types, and they cover a range of 20th and 21st century philosophy topics. They try to stay accessible to people without a philosophical background, with varying degrees of success, but are consistently a fun listen.

Oh CBC Ideas is quite good when it's good. It's more of a "subscribe and download if the topic looks good" than any "autodl and autoqueue" though.

Sorry if I overlooked it being mentioned but "The Medievalist Podcast" is short, digestible episodes examining a variety of topics, done by a professional historian.

Seconding this, though I prefer their older stuff. Which is ok, as their archives go back for decades. And if you want the Massey Lectures they go back to the 60s. The lectures are on a similarly wide variety of topics with a sort of philosophical bend.
