History noob trying to get started, I've been listening to some of Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. I'm not sure about /his/ disposition towards him so forgive me if I unwittingly unleash a shitposting frenzy. Finding them really interesting and the in-depth analysis he goes into is great. Downsides being, they're long as fuck and I also feel you need at least some basic background knowledge on the subject to fully appreciate the content. On top of that, he doesn't cover a massive amount of topics thus far.

Can you guys recommend any Podcasts, Audiobooks or Youtube channels that are of similar quality that are maybe more noob friendly and perhaps start's with basic foundation level shit and then builds on it. Not fussed what era of history at the moment because I'm not too sure what interests me yet. I'm just dipping my toes in. Maybe a broad selection would be good to explore.

Would also love something similar on Politics & Philosophy if you know of it. Cheers lads.
