Howdy!

In a couple weeks I am driving to a conference and will have about twenty hours or so of windshield time. What are some good history podcasts that I could download for this ride?

I am caught up with all of Dan Carlin's shows.
Thanks.

Have been listening recently to Dan Snow. He did a great Napoleon as well as a Master of the Air.

I enjoy....

History on Fire by Daniele Bolelli
The WW II Podcast by Angus Wallace
New History of Old Texas by Brandon Seale

Bolelli does multi-episode topics across almost all historical topics.....he's the most similar to Carlin's format of this group.....his passion/specialty is the Plains Indians.....you do have to get used to his Italian accent but you do get some indearing sayings out of it

Wallace does one episode per topic and range across all things WW II

Seale does multi-episode seasons with each season covering a topic on Texas history

We have ways of making you talk, a nice British perspective on WW2 mostly.

The rest is History, great all around world history.

Ancient Warfare podcast. The episodes are typically 15 minutes or so, therefore great for shorter commutes. They focus on very specific questions surrounding ancient battles, war fighting gear, techniques, etc.. I find out a lot of new tidbits that are not widely covered.

Fall of civilizations is a long form podcast in the vein of a Dan Carlin podcast (the GOAT). Only 18 episodes so far but hey, that's 18 civilizations to learn about and their demise.

History Unplugged covers a wide variety of history topics so you can probably find something that interests you. Usually about 1 hour long shows.

Thanks for all of the recommendations. I've selected twenty hours worth of material from several of these. Much appreciated.

I've listened to some of Wise about Texas and found it interesting.

Ken Wise who does "Wise about Texas" is an Aggie. He also is an Appellate Court Judge.

Highly agree. Also both have a good sense of humor too.

Add in tons of episodes already so would take you a loong time to catch up.

I like Wild West Extravaganza. Has some language…so not for kids.

I enjoy both of these as well. My wife has started listening to "The Rest Is History" which is a bit surprising because she has just started getting more interested in history.

Another one I enjoy that is sort of historyish is School of War with Aaron MacLean. The focus is on modern U.S. strategy focusing on Chyna but many of the guests are historians.
