History, Science, Literature, basically anything you can find scholars for. Every week the host Melvyn Bragg invites three of them to talk about a specific topic. There are no assumptions made that the listener has any previous knowledge about the topic, so its perfect to learn about new things you never heard about before. </p> <p> Naturally, I find some episodes more interesting than others, but often am surprised how interesting a seemingly boring topic can be. </p> <ul> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Link: <strong><a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl" class="urlextern" title="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl">In our Time</a></strong> (<a href="https://podcasts.files.bbci.co.uk/b006qykl.rss" class="urlextern" title="https://podcasts.files.bbci.co.uk/b006qykl.rss">RSS</a>)</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Episode Length: about 50 minutes</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> New Episode: weekly</div> </li> </ul> </div> <h2 class="sectionedit3" id="sherlock_holmes_stories">1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories…</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> I'm a huge fan of the Sherlock Holmes stories and even though I've read them all, saw them in various TV<sup><a href="#fn__1" id="fnt__1" class="fn_top">1)</a></sup> and cinema adaptations, I still enjoy them. </p> <p> Jon Hagadorn reads the classic stories on this podcast. Longer stories are split into multiple episodes, the short stories are just a single one. The podcast also mixes in a few non-Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, which is fun because I often don't know those at all. </p> <p> Jon has a couple of other story podcasts which I want to check out in the future. </p> <ul> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Link: <strong><a href="https://1001storiespodcast.com/" class="urlextern" title="https://1001storiespodcast.com/">1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle</a></strong> (<a href="https://feeds.megaphone.fm/ADL1830411874" class="urlextern" title="https://feeds.megaphone.fm/ADL1830411874">RSS</a>)</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Episode Length: 30 to 60 minutes</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> New Episode: weekly</div> </li> </ul> </div> <h2 class="sectionedit4" id="the_bowery_boys">The Bowery Boys</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> In this podcast named after an infamous street gang of New York, the hosts Greg Young and Tom Meyers talk about the history of New York one event, landmark or era at a time. </p> <p> Even though I have been to New York only once, the podcast is super interesting.

Hawkeye Pierce from M*A*S*H has a podcast. No, it is not M*A*S*H related at all. </p> <p> The main theme of his podcast is science communication.

People telling personal, true stories on stages around the world. With topics as diverse as mankind. </p> <p> These stories are usually very emotional. So when you find me crying while sanding a piece of wood, or hysterically laughing over a glue job, I am probably listening to The Moth. </p> <ul> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Link: <strong><a href="https://themoth.org/podcast" class="urlextern" title="https://themoth.org/podcast">The Moth</a></strong> (<a href="http://feeds.themoth.org/themothpodcast" class="urlextern" title="http://feeds.themoth.org/themothpodcast">RSS</a>)</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Episode Length: main episodes are about 50 minutes, shorter episodes in between</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> New Episodes: weekly main episodes, occasional small stories in between</div> </li> </ul> </div> <h2 class="sectionedit7" id="damn_interesting">Damn Interesting</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> This podcast is mostly a history podcast, but with a focus on the weirder or even mysterious parts of history you wouldn't usually find in a text book. </p> <p> I actually found myself thinking “huh, that <em>was</em> damn interesting” quite a lot after their episodes. </p> <ul> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Link: <strong><a href="https://www.damninteresting.com/podcast/" class="urlextern" title="https://www.damninteresting.com/podcast/">Damn Interesting</a></strong> (<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/damn-interesting-podcast" class="urlextern" title="http://feeds.feedburner.com/damn-interesting-podcast">RSS</a>)</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Episode Length: between 10 and 60 minutes</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> New Episode: sporadically, about every one or two months</div> </li> </ul> </div> <h2 class="sectionedit8" id="dan_carlin_s_hardcore_history">Dan Carlin's Hardcore History</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> While the “Damn Interesting” podcast takes a lighthearted approach to history, Dan Carlin is digging deep. He covers a certain topic in multiple hour long episodes, but in a way that you simply can't stop listening. </p> <p> Not his entire back catalog is available for free. But I am thinking about buying some of his older episodes. Currently “Supernova in the East” is available, where he covers the Japanese involvement in the second World War - a topic that is barely covered in German history classes. </p> <ul> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Link: <strong><a href="https://www.dancarlin.com/hardcore-history-series/" class="urlextern" title="https://www.dancarlin.com/hardcore-history-series/">Dan Carlin's Hardcore History</a></strong> (<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/dancarlin/history" class="urlextern" title="http://feeds.feedburner.com/dancarlin/history">RSS</a>)</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Episode Length: between 3 and 6 hours</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> New Episode: very rarely</div> </li> </ul> </div> <h2 class="sectionedit9" id="dark_histories">Dark Histories</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> This is my current favorite podcast. Similar to the “Damn Interesting” podcast, Ben Cutmore picks curious incidents from the past to talk about. This covers things like serial killers and unsolved murders, sea monster and ghost sightings or ill-fated explorers. </p> <p> The first part of each episode is a high production value and well-researched tale of the story. The second part is a more personal, unscripted evaluation of the story by Ben himself. </p> <ul> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Link: <strong><a href="https://www.darkhistories.com/" class="urlextern" title="https://www.darkhistories.com/">Dark Histories</a></strong> (<a href="https://darkhistories.podbean.com/feed.xml" class="urlextern" title="https://darkhistories.podbean.com/feed.xml">RSS</a>)</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> Episode Length: 50 to 80 minutes</div> </li> <li class="level1"><div class="li"> New Episode: every two weeks</div> </li> </ul> <hr /> <p> If you know of a podcast that would fit well into my little list above, please let me know in the comments. </p> <p> I am also interested in podcatcher recommendations for Android.
