The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

I really like HI101 for its approachable vibe and conversational tone. I feel like the host does a good job of establishing a narrative that's easy to follow while doing other things, which is how I usually like to listen to podcasts (at work, while playing video games , etc). I feel like when I listen to things like Revolutions or Fall of Rome, my mind may wander and I'll miss a detail and then be lost.

I know everyone likes to rag on Hardcore History, and the quality has definitely gone downhill in recent years (still love Death Throes of the Republic), but I feel like that and HI101 are both pretty easy to follow, and if I miss a beat I can usually catch the thread back pretty quickly. Any recommendations for something similar? I've listened to The Dollop but I'm not super looking for comedy specifically.

Also, I know this isn't really this thread's purview, but does anyone have recommendations for a biography on Bismarck?

I should also mention that I already subscribe to Conflicted, Inward Empire, and Fall of Civilizations and quite enjoy those as well.

[Based on a true story] and [Do go on] are both good for background listening. Though Do Go On is sort of like the Dollop but from Australia, so more laid back and less (as in not at all) political

If you liked the first two seasons of Slow Burn, Luminary dropped the first season of Leon Nayfakh's (previously paywalled) follow-up podcast Fiasco a month or so ago. It's about Bush v. Gore/the Florida recount and it's great; I haven't minded the following seasons of Slow Burn but this really reminded me of the magic that was the first two seasons.

Quoting my own post from three years ago and bumping the thread because Slow Burn's an Audible exclusive now and Amazon/Audible just brought another season of Fiasco out from behind the paywall.

The season is about the AIDS crisis in the Reagan/Bush/Clinton years and it is excellent. I'm pausing Episode 6 to post about it but the first five episodes have all been very good so far. It's a tough listen and depressing as hell, but it's also a great example of what nonfiction podcasting looks like at its best.

Listened to it after seeing this, thanks for the rec. It was good and educational since I didn't really know much about the AIDS crisis since it was "over" by the time I was a teen.

:geno: Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

Has Mike Duncan announced any of his plans post-Revolutions yet?

E: also I gotta say I loved Patrick Wyman's episode and interview on the emergence of Rome. Nice to see someone peel back the obviously rotten layers of the Romulus myth onion, while still stressing how important it was to contemporary Romans understanding of their own past.

E2: Also it's a deeply Canadian suggestion, but The Strategists podcast has been really good lately.

Yeah a book review podcast series with someone named Alexis Coe, alongside the new book:

Hard to keep track of him since he's basically never on Twitter anymore (just like everyone else)

So I just blasted through revolutions season on the 1848 revolutions, now into the empire of france / Franco Prussian war stuff.

It made me realise how much I’d love a podcast on ww1/2, I guess either or but specifically 1 as it’s got a lot to do with the aftermaths of the aforementioned.

Anything that’s fairly like narrative based like revolutions etc that people have listened to? Google brings up approximately a bajillion.

History That Doesn't Suck! is doing a World War One series right now and it's not bad; it's explicitly US-focused so the entire pre-US war got cut down to a single 67 minute episode.

The Iron Dice just wrapped its first miniseries(?) about Germany between the Armistice and signing the Treaty of Versailles and it was excellent, but also not quite what you're asking for.

If you can stand Dan Carlin and his boxing/alien analogies, his series on WW1 (Blueprint for Armageddon) is pretty decent, one of his better ones imo

im actually interested in the ww1 america focused podcast just because they didnt even get a look in during my highschool modern history classes on it. tbf we didnt do much on the actual war either, just gallipoli and the usual 'write 500 words why ww1 happened' essay but i didnt even know the us were in the war until i got into ship hits the fan and they did a podcast on the lusitania

Oh I don't disagree; it's explicitly a "this is the story of American involvement in WWI, here's a barebones explanation of who's shooting who and why" angle on the war. I'm sure there's a better podcast out there, but the only holistic treatments I'm remembering offhand are audiobooks, not podcasts.

When Diplomacy Fails is a podcast by an irish then-grad-student historian focused on military history and diplomacy and has a number of series in depth about WW1. He did a series of specials about the war in 2013 that were really good; he then went in depth about the july crisis and then had an insane day by day series about the negotiations for the treaty of versailles. It's great.

Seconding When Diplomacy Fails. It's rough around the edges for the ww1 content, much of which is very early in his now very long run, but he specifically focuses on the interesting political bits.

He was an undergrad when he started podcasting.

I think History of the 20th century by Marc Painter did a pretty good general overview of WW1 also.

But I would certainly say WDFs is more in-depth re. politics and diplomacy. HoXX is more holistic.

I don’t listen to much of it, but Cold War Conversations might be good for her. It might also be too much, it isn’t a history of the Cold War, it’s interviews with people involved in the Cold War in one way or another

I have a thought that pictures might add a je ne sais quoi for her if she wants to get a feeling for the cold war and the times. Was it BBC that produced the "20th century" docu series? The one with the prominent important/adjacent people interviews in the later episodes?

It’s not a podcast, but Carlin has a new substack and, uh.

quote:

This pressure comes in part because of an either/or question that has very important ramifications regardless of the answer. It's becoming harder to say that there is nothing out there. So what is it that is being seen? Clearly it involves extremely advanced technology and capabilities. There are four possible answers to what this might be.

It's us (U.S.-built technology)
It's something made by another Earth power
It is Earth-built tech but from sometime in the future (and here via time travel)
It's something from outside Earth
