I’ve changed the wording slightly, but I’m totally fine with podcasts which, at least sometimes, are more valuable than my own random thoughts or more interesting than the clatter of my bicycle while I’m driving to the university.
I think “History of Rome” meets these criteria.
O.K., if general historical edification for largely ignorant laymen like me counts, then there are two Berkeley undergrad courses on iTunes that I love by a professor named Margaret Anderson. The first is on the Second Reich and the second is a more general survey of modern European history. I learned a ridiculously large amount from both and personally found them to be more fluid and engaging than any college course I took.
Thank you very much for this recommendation.
I just finished the second course and it’s great.
One tip for other people: use a program like MP3Gain on these files, because they differ a lot in volume and in (audio) quality.

Thanks, that’s exactly what I’m looking for.
