  They are all pretty great. My favorite ones are: Big History: The Big Bang, Life on Earth, and the Rise of Humanity -> so good!! History of Russia: From Peter the Great to Gorbachev Rise and Fall of the British Empire

  Most of them are really good. Here's a partial list of the ones I've enjoyed: - Machiavelli in Context (probably the best course of theirs I've listened to) - Big History: The Big Bang, Life on Earth, and the Rise of Humanity - Conquest of the Americas - Early Middle Ages, High Middle Ages (same lecturer--one of the best) - Foundations of Western Civilization I and II - History of Ancient Rome - Birth of the Modern Mind - Story of Human Language - History of Science from Antiquity to 1700
