Can anyone recommend a history podcast on more of a concept topic than a time period, region or culture? Something like the history of literature, science fiction, art history, architecture, that kind of thing. The History of English Language podcast is kind of like what I'm thinking of.

The Appeal podcast is an excellent leftist podcast about police/criminal justice reform but I doubt it'll cover the primaries at all.

There's only so many times you can read (or listen to) the liberals and the left worked together for reforms, until the liberals had what they wanted and stabbed the left in the back, then the right came back and crushed them, before you see the pattern.

I listen to ~40 hours of podcasts a week I need less ways to run out of episodes not more. Also it's way harder to understand people without the gaps between words.

I mostly listen to History Podcasts but informational ones are good too, and I've enjoyed listening to literary podcasts if it's something I'm familiar with. Some of the ones I've got are
History of Rome, Byzantium, of Philosophy without any gaps (+india/africa), of the Crusades, Revolutions, Imaginary Worlds, Twenty Thousand Hertz, The Dollop, The Allusionist, Making Gay History (strongly recommend this one), 99% Invisible, Our Fake History, Pirate History Podcast (I don't see a lot of talk about this one, it's pretty good), Tides of History, History of China, Inward Empire, History of English, Hardcore HIstory, Viking Age Podcast, Myths and Legends, Factually, The Movements, Nancy, Gender Reveal, Worst Year Ever

I've got the History of Persia on my list to hit and the British History Podcast.

I'll have to check out Century of Sound

What’s the vibe of 99% Invisible? I’ve heard it advertised on Criminal a few times but haven’t listened yet.

Its very NPR but the topics are pretty interesting, usually have some history you probably don't know, even if its rather insignificant.

Can you name 3-4 of your favorites from that list

Probably The Dollop, History of the Crusades, Revolutions, and Worst Year Ever.

I usually liked the interviews more than the main episodes in the early modern stuff, but both were pretty good. I'm having a real hard time with the prehistory stuff, it's certainly interesting but without any actual... history, or people and specific, non huge timespans my brain just can't focus on it well.

More podcasts really should be five hours long though.

I found the first chunk of the prehistory to be impossible to focus on or retain any information from but once he switched to talking about the development of agriculture and societies in different locations it got a lot better and more interesting.

On one hand it was a horrific act, but on the other hand those white farmers really wanted that land and also they were extremely racist, so who can say, really, what the right thing to do was

The iheartradio suite of ads is unbearable and they go to breaks way too often. I didn't want to listen to a true crime podcast the first time you suggested it and by the 8th in one 1 hour segment you could not pay me to check it out. What part of "listening to a politics podcast" makes you think I really really want to hear about movie star gossip and fashion?

They remove older episodes from the feed after like 6 months or so and the archives are only available on wOnDeRy pLuS, you know that app that also does mid-episode reads about murdering children and dissolving their bodies in acid.

Oh, poo poo. I hopped on when Tides started so I've never gone for the backlog, that sucks.

History of the Crusades / Reconquista
History of the Second World War (it might get to the War eventually but I'm still working the backlog of lead-up, which has been fairly good if not hugely indepth)
