podcastpromoI've been listening a lot recently to two history-related podcasts.
The first, Stuff You Missed In History Class, has over 300 episodes. It's two women (the hosts have changed a few times two years) talking for around 20ish minutes an episode about specific incidents in history. It assumes a US-based audience for the most part, but does make a stab at actually talking a lot about non-European and non-US-centric topics.
The second, Norman Centuries, is a bit more of a mini-series than a series. It's also a bit more lecture-based rather than casual chatting like the above. It focuses on the rise of the Dukes of Normandy from around 900 to around... 1100, I think? I haven't gotten to the end. It's very interesting, and each episode focuses on a particular Duke or ruler of Normandy.
