"The History of Rome" and "Philosophize This". I finished them both in a superficial way, while driving on my daily commute. Now I listen to them in my spare time and try to really dig deep, take notes and read the original material on topics that resonate to me. After I finish them again this way I will search for something of similar quality. "Revolutions" seems to be it.
- lordfoom 5y agoI can recommend "the partially examined life" which features the person from "philosophize this" (stephen west I think?), along with a few others, where they discuss specific texts. Lots of rewindable moments.
- Errancer 5y agoI highly recommend "History of philosophy without any gaps".
- aspyct 5y agoOh, the history of Rome. Don't know about this particular podcast, but the history is absolutely amazing and 1000% worth reading/listening about. I've always hated history lessons at school. But the history of Rome was amazing! Good teacher too. I guess it was the audiobook of the time :D
- sofixa 5y agoI'm currently listening to the end of the Russian Revolutions part of the Revolutions podcast (the last one), and I'm quite happy with the quality and depth, i recommend it heartily. I had a decent understanding of the subject matter from generic history knowledge and The Great War series on YouTube ( which i also recommend!) and there was still a whole lot i learned. I do listen it on 1.1x however, the normal speed is a bit slow for me ( and slightly overflows the slot I've alloted for podcasts).
- Veen 5y agoThe History of Byzantium by Robin Pierson, which follows on where Duncan left off in The History of Rome is excellent too. In fact, I think Pierson is a better writer than Duncan was back when he did HoR, so I enjoy the HoB more. Duncan's got much better with Revolutions though.
