I'm getting close to the bottom of my backlog on a few podcasts, so I'm looking to get something new in there.

Personally, it's been, in no particular order:

  • If Books Could Kill
  • Darknet Diaries
  • Hard Fork
  • 99% Invisible
  • The War on Cars
  • The Urbanist Agenda
  • The Climate Denier's Playbook
  • Well There's Your Problem

I'm mildly considering getting into Behind the Bastards and It Could Happen Here, but I'm a little bit skeptical on account of how damn much there is to be listened to in their feed.

His follow up Revolutions is even better

That's how I was made aware of "The History of Rome". I listened to the last chapters of "Revolutions" and decided to start from the beginning before listening to the rest.

My current "roadmap" of sorts is to finish "The History of Rome", then "The History of Byzantium* (not made by Duncan) and listen to the rest of "Revolutions" afterwards

I'm gonna give this one a shot. Thank you!

Make sure to follow it up with Robin Pearson's History of Byzantium. He's still centuries away from done, but I like it even better than Mike Duncan's after it gets going.
