The Rest is History

It’s informative and relaxing and the hosts are two funny Brits who really love history. I forget about it and then listen to all the new ones and get sad when I’m caught up and forget again. Also “Obscure” which is just Michael Ian Black reading an old usually obscure-for-a -reason depressing book. It’s soothing.

so many

sorry most of these are history podcasts bc that’s mostly what i listen to but there’s a range of topics last week tonight with john oliver (youtube) - he recaps the last week or a specific topic in a very understandable funny yet educational way conflicted: a history podcast - for something a bit more serious in tone - its deep dives into different events in history especially those that don’t get much attention book club (bbc) - discussions of books with the authors and a group of readers - so many episodes going back years to choose from slow burn - season long deep dives into events like the clinton impeachment, lead up to the iraq war, rise of clarence thomas anthropocene reviewed - has a more hopeful tone - john green reviewing and explaining different aspects of the world like orbital sunrises contrapoints (youtube) - tackles different topics from a lot philosohical cultural sociological perspective - love the video on twilight us & them - talks about decisive problems in the us from both sides my fav episode is the gun divide colorless wonderland (youtube) - my fav book channel hes so enthusiastic and has such unique book recs the morbid zoo (youtube) - deep dives into horror and thriller movies from sociological cultural perspective - she’s so smart and and well read my fav videos are on civil war and sound of freedom nice try! - exploration of design and its interactions with people history government and more - highly recommend the episode about chandigarh or germania radio lab - tackles interesting questions that combine law science history sociology - my fav episodes are playing god and eye in the sky the audio long read - podcast form of long stories from the guardian on a bunch of different topics more: - throughline - philosophy tube - 99% invisible - the experiment - longform - what roman mars can learn about con law - codeswitch - in our time - audacious with chion wolf - story corps - the daily - ologies

history lessons for misanthropes & The curious history of your home

these podcasts are good for beginning to learn some historical context! History lessons for misanthropes gives deep dives into particular people or situations with context at the top of every episode, good for generally late 1800s Canadian history but they expand far past that . The curious history of your home gives context for every day items and its given me a better understanding of the historic through line of every day, it helps me to contextualize my own life in history :)
