“Tides of History” by Patrick why man and “Fall of civilizations” by idk but it’s fucking dope.
They both turn incredibly dry presentions of absolutely vividly fascinating topics into an enjoyable listen that also educates.
Like, I majored in history, good professors made going to class a highlight of the day and bad ones made it a chore. Now imagine one of the good ones decided to a lecture series with high production values and needed to earn their audience instead of their audience choosing to be there for a degree.
It’s better than that. You’ll learn so much and enjoy it without realizing you spent the last hour taking in the same info an entire 100 course provides.
I highly recommend starting with a. Topic you already like, but my personal favorite is the collapse of pre-antiquity and the sea peoples.
