What a dikead

can anybody recommend a podcast on Alexander the Great which is historically accurate?

been listening to Totalus Rankium. good stuff, light hearted review of every western emperor. i think they're up to jovian right now but i just finished the episode on marcus aurelius.

Any on africa? Either specific locations or just in general. Also for the middle east? I want to understand how things lead to the way they are now

Not really a podcast, but is this series worth watching? I'm enjoying it so far but I dislike how they have to rush through every subject in 10 minutes.

Watered down tidbits meant for high schoolers who would like to appear smart and nothing else.

>rush through every subject in 10 minutes.

That's what crash course means, Anon

history of rome is legit good

>>2876169
The Ancient World by Scott Chesworth

>>2876820
Unless you are taking a history test in high school, then do not watch this and do not recommend it to anyone

if I put my pol hat on he's a revisionist crypto-jew if not he's just annoying

>>2876618
I wish. Can't find anything on them and all of the classes at my university are very 'politically correct'.

The usual recommendations are the best - History of Rome, History of Byzantium, Hardcore History and Revolutions. I've also tried The China History Podcast, Russian Rulers History Podcast, Norman Centuries, 12 Byzantine Rulers, The History of the Mongols, The History of China, History of Germany Podcast, History of the Crusades, and Eastern Border. None of these are amazing, but they've mostly proven serviceable listens when I've got nothing else going on.

>History of Byzantium
People keep recommending this without mentioning the paywalls.

Is anybody at the very least able to upload episode 28? It's right in the middle of the narrative discussing Justinian I and the Plague of Justinian. Ordinarily I'm happy to donate one-off, but I'm not willing to provide an email to make an account on a site that doesn't even use HTTPS to buy an episode.

I like Revolutions.

>>2875893
>all of /his/ consists of either podcast listeners, ebin paradox and total war gaymers and wikipedia readers

Sad!

Ottoman History Podcast is probably the best out there, even if you're not particularly interested in the Turks, it covers the post-colonial states - Algeria, Libya, Egypt and the Sudan. Very academic in tone, much more suited to students of history than someone like Dan Carlin, as much as I like him.

I would say
ottoman history podcast
The fall of Rome podcast
History Matters podcast
When diplomacy fails
History of the 20th century
History on fire
My history can beat up your politics

And for some comedy
Early Lesser Bonapartes
Unbuttoned History

Alexander the Great and the Macedonian Empire from The Teaching Company.

>>2879208

>>2879595
This its the most academic podcast in this thread

>>2876324
>The History of Byzantium


fuck that guy not paying 5 bucks every time he decides to randomly put an important episode behind a paywall.

>Justinian is sick, everything's going to shit, what will happen next? Find out next time on our premium donation episode ;^)

4chan is always contrarian though

>>2878896
>>2879695
desu I keep forgetting about the paywall. Very few episodes are behind it so I've hardly noticed the missing bits. Still, 90% of what you want is there and it's done very well.

>>2878994
Thanks. Should something like this be in a sticky thread? Along with all of those links to downloading relevant books, since those threads pop up now and again.
