Similar to history of Rome style

  • Revolutions also by Mike Duncan
  • history of byzantine, directly designed as a successor
  • history of England by David Crowther - similarly systematic, more detailed/zoomed in

Other great ones

  • The Rest is History: eclectic, funny, good dynamic between the two hosts but still serious history
  • In Our Time: groups of academic guests discussing a massive and v eclectic set of topics with a curious nonexpert chairing and keeping it moving and asking questions listeners might.

Another shout for The Rest is History and In Our Time. IOT is an institution in the UK while TRIH is relatively new and has a different dynamic but both excellent in their own ways.
