I recently finished The History of Rome, and I miss it like a friend. Even bought a tshirt!

Before that, I listened to every season of A New History of Old Texas. The Cabeza de Vaca season is fantastic.

What are your recommendations for good listens?

Also this is my post on the History Forum. How's the water over here?

Rest is History is really good,

https://bytesizedbiographies.com/

I like:
We Have Ways of Making you Talk (WW2)
Not so Quiet on the Western Front (WWI)
The Old Frontline (WWI)
The War Office (same guys who do the Operations Room YouTube Channel)
Hardcore History


Those are my favorites

Life of Caesar podcast is really in depth and funny (starts with Julius and now on Titus). They also do an Alexander one which is fantastic.

However, one of them is a big lefty and lets his dislike of Christianity, trump and the west take over at times.

It's palatable in some of the older episodes but I finally had to stop listening to them. They were that good for me to suck it up for all these years.

Rest is history and we have ways are both good too.

Killing time. Low budget and not doing more episodes but I like them all. Highlights key battles in last 400 years or so.

Revolutions is good but I like some episodes way more than others. Enjoyed the Mexican one the most probably.

Tides of history is excellent.

Cold War-prelude to the present. I really like this series.

Explorers podcast is great. Pretty short 1-4 episodes or so on a wide range of explorers. The one on Ernest Shackleton is my favorite but tons of them are good to great.

Threads from the national tapestry - it's a civil war podcast that is more story telling than just recounting facts. New episodes are always a much listen for me.

Wise about Texas. Not a seeeping story of Texas history but jumps from story to story. I find it pretty good.

me.

+ 1 for the Mexican Revolution season of Revolutions

Acquired is a great business history podcast. The history of standard oil episodes may be my favorite I've listened to so far. They also have the NFL and Nintendo - lots of variety.

+ 1 for Hardcore History. The most recent seasons are free. older seasons you have to buy. The WWI and Mongol seasons were peak.

Abridged Presidential Histories covers all the presidents. The Jon Tyler and Chester Arthur episodes offer some pretty crazy lesser known history.

Congrats!

Lot's of good options as well on youtube such as history of byzantium (on spotify too). Timeline, The Rest is History, Herald of the Ages, Civil War Battlefield Trust all great options to look into.

Thanks so much. I have been trying out The Rest is History so far.

I've been enjoying "The Ancients". It's some Scottish guy and has an expert guest on whatever the topic is. Obviously it's about more ancient history, Bronze Age, Iron Age up to the renaissance.

Unauthorized History of the Pacific War Podcast

thought I new a lot about WW2 in the Pacific but apparently not! Cover a ton of well known and obscure but relevant events in the Pacific Theater.

I've recently found Gone Medieval and I really enjoy it. It's right up my alley as far as time period. They did a nice series on the Crusades back in March.

I am reading "As Good As Dead" about a Japanese POW camp. Pretty harrowing! Don't see how those guys made it.

So I'm 95 percent finished with the Cabeza de Vaca season- very well done. Thanks for that recommendation. I was happy to hear him reference The Texas Beyond History website, which I helped work on.

It should be an Amazon series or something. The entire story is compelling and unbelievable.

+1 to Unauthorized History of the Pacific War, its a great show and lots of information. Could listen for days.

Listening to the Mexico Revolution season now and it's grating to hear him pronounce Santa Anna and San Jacinto.

If you haven't tried Hardcore History by Dan Carlin, give it a shot. Some of the episodes are incredible."

Hopefully he never has to say Refugio.

When he gets into the narrative it's great listening. I find him often frustrating in that he will beat certain metaphors to death and wonder off on tangents.
