Kit Patrick's History of India Podcast is among my most favorites of all podcasts in any topic.
Really well thought, no overly dramatic narration or extravagant sound effects.
I like the calm, cool storytelling in Kit Patrick's History of India podcast. I highly recommend it.

- rg111 5y agoThanks for the recommendation. I checked it out and the list looks good. I suggest everyone check out the skeptic and athiestic (Nirisvara- non-God) schools of Indian philosophy. Especially Samkhya and Vaisheshika. Indian past is always painted as a religious golden age. That is simply not true. Indian skepticism, logic, and athiesm is centuries and millenias old.
- vram22 5y agoThe Advaita Vedanta school (non-dualism) is interesting too, IMO.
- thefringthing 5y agoThe 6th century Indian Buddhist logician Dignāga's ideas about evidence and deductive reasoning remind me a lot of the analytic philosophy of the early 20th century.
- rg111 5y agoIf you are interested in such things, I suggest Buddhist Logic and Epistemology: Studies in the Buddhist Analysis of Inference and Language, and Epistemology, Logic, and Grammar In Indian Philosophical Analysis, by Bimal Krishna Matilal and Lokayata: A Study in Ancient Indian Materialism and Science and Society in Ancient India by Debiprasad Chattyopadhyay.
- foobarian 5y agoNot about India but on the topic of favorite podcasts, anything by Mike Duncan. Starting with the History of Rome series to the whole Revolutions series. Not too dramatic, but not 100% dry either.
