Genealogy is the researching of Family History, and, like most genealogists, I also have a big love of History. When I can't do any more genealogy research and head to bed (usually far later than I intended), I am usually listening to a History related podcast on my iPhone.
It is nice to relax and listen about historical events that I may not have studied as much.
Some of my favorite History Podcasts are:
The British History Podcast - Great podcast on British History. I'm not sure why, but I think this is my favorite. This one is my husband's favorite too. Jamie does a great job keeping it interesting!
Stuff You Missed in History Class - random topics and seems like an every changing set of hosts. Topics are usually on interesting people and events that would appeal to a wide ranger in audience.
Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - The only thing I don't like about this podcast is how far apart they are released. I understand he needs to do a great deal of research for each episode, but the waiting between episodes is looooong. They are a nice long length. Even my husband likes this one.
The History of England - Interesting, chronological episodes, well researched.
History of the Crusades - About, you guessed it, the Crusades. Good content, but the delivery is a bit boring at times. This is the only one with a female podcaster.
Revolutions - New podcast from the History of Rome guy Mike Duncan
The History of Rome - finished podcast by Mike Duncan
If anyone has some other suggestions please leave a comment, I'm always interested in new or new-to-me podcasts!
