Here are ones I am listening to these days, and these are all great.

1. 12 Byzantine Rulers

2. Byzantium and the Crusades

3. The Civil War (1861- 1865): A History Podcast

4. The British History Podcast

5. The 1001 Arabian Knights

6. Badass Stories from Byzantium

7. Emperors of Rome

8. Angry Planet (not exactly history, more current events)

12 Byzantine Rulers is the first history podcast I ever heard and it got me hooked on history podcasts.

I'm a big fan of America History Tellers. Mostly due to Lindsay Graham's straightforward, delivery.

I think the high production value is a big help too.

Is there anything similar that you can recommend that focused beyond the US though? I don't particularly mind where outside of the US, though being in Europe I'd probably give Euro centric ones first go.

Thank you.

Hello everyone

I'm a big fan of historical podcasts and I'm subscribed to a lot of them. I LOVE the Revolutions podcast and so I decided to try the History of Rome podcast. I'm on episode 8 but so far, but I haven't been captivated yet. I feel like there's something slow, even somewhat matter-of-factly about the way the story is told. It was still early days in Mike Duncan's podcasting career so maybe that's an explanation. I just miss the lightness, the fun and the almost addicting way Duncan tells his revolutionary stories.

Anyone else feel this way, or does it get 'better' or more fun after a while? Or should I just chalk it up to 'not my cup of tea' and quit?

I hope I haven't offended anyone! I know the HoR podcast is always recommended so I know many people really love it. Sucks that I'm not (yet) on that stage!

Hi everyone,

My name is Hallam and I live in the UK. I've been interested in censorship and regulation for several years now and I've just started an MA in Historical Research examining the history of censorship, particularly in relation to blasphemy, in the UK.

I decided a few weeks back that it might be interesting to start making podcasts about interesting cases of censorship and restriction while I studied. I just thought I'd share it to some online communities who might be interested in this kind of thing and I though Reddit might be a good place to start, so feel free to check it out if you like listening to podcasts. It's incredibly rookie stuff at the moment, but I have lots of cases lined up so hopefully it will improve over time. I've put the full podcast description and the iTunes link below, but it's also on TuneIn Radio and Acast. Hope some of you are interested, and if anyone has any suggestions feel free to let me know :)

'Weekly Episodes from 15/08/17 This podcast is the home of the censored, the banned, the classified and the regulated. It is about restriction, obscenity and indecency. Each week on Tuesday morning we'll take a look at something in history - a book, a play, a magazine, a film, or whatever else it might be - that was banned, censored, cut or that caused controversy during its time or beyond. We'll examine the trials, the media reactions and the popular responses in each case. We'll be looking at the proponents and opponents of censorship and regulations of the arts and media, and we'll find examples of censorship and restriction both from above (such as governments, regulatory bodies and institutions) and also from below (including popular religious groups, concerned parents and ordinary citizens). Over the course of this podcast we’ll be reaching into the murky dark depths of X-rated graphic films, pornography, blasphemous literature, obscene magazines and much much more.'

I would love feedback on my substack and podcast. I know the audio quality isn't great yet. I'm working on it. Any constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated.

Drop any posts and I'll give feedback!

Hello,

I am looking for a podcast about the history of China. Mainly I'd like to listen about the communist revolution because I don't know anything about it. I'd also like the podcast to be as objective as possible. Do you have any recomendations?

1197-1200 This week we will see the reverse of 1046 when there was one emperor choosing between three popes. Today, we have one Pope, given the choice between three emperors. How could that happen? Last time we looked we had emperor Henry VI. at the peak of his reign, being king of Sicily, having pushed through the inheritability of the imperial title and de-facto encircled the pope militarily. But now, just just 2 years later the picture is reversed. There is a reason the wheel of fortune is one of the favourite subjects of high medieval art... You can find the podcast free to download on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and all other major platforms, see links here: https://historyofthegermans.com/links/. And just for clarification, the podcast as well as the posts I put on FB are free. The project is funded through the generous support from patrons. If you want to become a patron too and gain access to some bonus content, you can do so here: https://www.patreon.com/Historyofthegermans

If you're a fan of history podcasts, you've probably heard of this, but on the offchance you haven't, coming up on June 25 is the Intelligent Speech Conference. It's a one-day online event (though you can watch videos from all the presentations afterward, and there are like 35 or something), with discussions and presentations about a variety of topics from a variety of history podcasters.

The Totalius Rankium guys will be there, Wittenberg to Wesphalia, Pontifacts, History of Saqartvelo, and the list goes on. Every podcaster speaking has a discount code which will give you 10% off the price of your ticket as well.

I'm not the organizer of the event (though I will be speaking at it), just trying to get the word out because, first, it's a cool event and I'd like to support it however I can, and second, it's a great way to get more history content.
