What are the good history podcasts? Most seem still like two guys chatting and oh here’s some facts from the past


Three I like:

The History of Rome in 179+ podcasts. Done in increments of 12-20 minutes. Great for short commutes.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History as mentioned by ghaff, but yes, it's extremely long form.

Tides of History - different topics and somewhere between 45 - 60 minutes.


I don't know what you're looking for but Dan Carlin's Hardcore History is excellent for a very long form podcast.


The Revolutions podcast is great.

History of philosophy without any gaps if you're into philosophy.

From Wittenberg to Westphalia; History of the Papacy podcast; History of China podcast.

I'm not a fan of Hardcore History - it seems more about the drama and theatricality of Carlin's own voince than about the historical content.
