History podcast from the BBC : You're dead to me
I enjoy 'This American life, depends on the topic but it can be very interesting.
If you've heard of QI from the BBC there is No such thing as a fish when they talk about a couple facts they've read. I find it pretty funny too.
Mike Duncan is doing a new seasons of Revolutions about the Mars revolution (fictional of course) but before he did a bunch of others including the Mexican and French revolutions which I particularly enjoyed.
Blowback does seasons about bad US foreign policy. For news about US foreign policy there is also American Prestige.
Also listen to 15 minutes history from the University of Austin Texas. They just did something about the King of Haïti for example. They do new topics each episode.
Also another history one if MartyrMade.
And Trillbilly Workers podcast because I like to have no clue what they're talking about lol
You're Dead to Me is a great one. I also really like The Rest is History in a similar niche.
Mike Duncan is fire! I really enjoyed all of it. But his "revolutions" podcast on early modern england was really interesting.
I particularly enjoyed an episode (later on in the French revolution) that talked about the Paris fish wives march on the Bastille.
