I enjoy all of these:
* Geopolitics - "The Duran" [realist foreign policy school] (on youtube). Two Greeks, one a reporter and one a former lawyer/civil servant in the UK. Alexander Mercouris is fantastic and has his own daily short videos.
* History - "Revolutions" podcast [Academic/liberal]. Formerly "The History of Rome" A great series on the transition of the West towards liberalism, and very well researched. On Spotify and perhaps other platforms.
* History/Education -- "Historia Civilis" [Academic/Educational]. A great podcast with animations suitable for educational use. Very entertaining and well researched. On youtube. If you want to know about the Constitution of Sparta or the Battle of Actium, this is the series for you!
* Music/Education -- "Everything Music" by Rick Beato [Music theory]. A great podcast where musical theory is applied to contemporary music, the structure of songs is often analyzed. On youtube.
* Journalism/Foreign Affairs -- "The Grayzone" [UK Independent Alt Media]. A group of independent journalists in the spirit of "The Intercept", if you want to know about what's going on in Burkina Faso, or ties between British Intelligence and various troll armies, then this is the podcast for you. A thorn in the side of Perfidious Albion and constantly under investigation in the UK. Episodes on youtube and they also have a media site online.
* Politics/Book Reviews -- "The Worthy House" by Charles Haywood [Hard Right Politics]. A series of 20 minute book reviews featuring primarily right politics but also some history and philosophy. On youtube. Charles reads each book and then critiques their ideas.
Non-podcast but off the beaten path online sources:
* Journalism/Foreign Affairs -- "MROnline" [Socialist/Alt Media]. Old School New York commie publication that was a platform for I. F. Stone and others. If you want to know why capitalism is slavery or the latest Western offenses against Venezuela, then this is the website for you. They have some high quality content that makes it worthwhile even though there is lots of cliche stuff as well.
* Diplomacy/Geopolitics -- "Indian Punchline" [Geopolitics/Non-Aligned] https://www.indianpunchline.com/ https://www.indianpunchline.com/ - A former Indian Diplomat covers geopolitcs, very interesting. Often covers important events ignored in Western media (e.g. the recent killing of 100 children in Kabul) and puts them in a larger geopolitical context from the Indian perspective.
* News/Geopolitics - "AZGeopolitics" [Eurasian Geopolitics] https://azgeopolitics.com https://azgeopolitics.com If you want to know about the latest negotiations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, or what China is doing in Pakistan, or how Russia is organizing a gas cartel similar to OPEC with Uzbekistan, then this is the news source for you. Also has Africa coverage. All from a pro-Eurasia/anti-West perspective.
Let me also make a shout out to the "Deadliest Roads" documentary series on youtube, which was originally produced by France Television, and is absolutely fantastic.
