The British History Podcast (Website | Apple | RSS Feed) I don't think there's a show on this list that goes into greater depth than BHP. After 300 regular episodes, not counting all the bonus and premium episodes, Jamie is on Æthelstan, first King of the English. Astonishingly good podcast, and well worth your time.
I also want to plug Chris Stewart's awesome History of China podcast. His patreon feed that covers the history of the Mongols is enthralling. ----- I lastly want to plug Robin Pierson's History of Byzantium, which is the obvious spiritual and chronological successor to Mike Duncan's History of Rome podcast.
That is the title of one of the episodes of my podcast: History Analyzed. On June 28, 1914, Gavrilo Princip shot the heir apparent to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Hear how this assassination sparked World War I, ended four empires, created many new countries, and led to World War II. You can find History Analyzed on every podcast app.
The British History Podcast. It's a chronological telling of British History. The guy (Jamie) has been doing it since 2011, usually weekly. There are 253 episodes and he just got up to 874 AD and recently finished Alfred The Great.
There's a great new history podcast called The Art of Crime. It's basically about historical artists' involvements in different kinds of criminal activity. Season 1 is about artists suspected of being Jack the Ripper. What I like most about it is the way that it shuttles back and forth between biography and social history.
The Pirate History Podcast is excellent. While it's about the history of Caribbean piracy in the 'golden age', the host provides oodles of context as to how events across the globe directly (and indirectly) influenced the growth of piracy on the other side of the world.
The China History Podcast. Unlike the narrative-style History of China, the China History Podcast is topical, and so its episodes on the Mongols have come at various points in the podcast's life. The episodes on the Ming, the successor to the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, came out in 2012.
I love the podcast but it's really annoying that they spend SO MUCH TIME talking about history when we all know we're here to experience the talent of arguably the best impressionist of our era, Tom Holland. I'm always blown away by his skill, and keep wondering "wow how were they able to get such a clear recording of Churchill" or whatever.
The Rest Is History podcast is really good, but it almost (from the episodes I’ve heard) kinda feels like a good overall “brushstroke” way to look at history. It does a good job at covering the main basic points of whatever it’s talking about… But Dan’s work is something else.
The Dollop is an American history podcast told by two comedians. Something True explores weird incidents in history. It’s not done expressly for comedy, but it can be pretty funny. You might also try Futility Closet. It’s also not expressly a comedy podcast, but it’s entertaining historical tidbits.
