History podcasts?

At the moment I subscribe to Talking History on Newstalk 106, great show!

Does anyone know any other good podcasts?
I'd imagine BBC Radio 4 might have some but I've not tried them.

Yeah I download the odd Talking History podcasts, some of them are quite good. At christmas I was given the book Judging Dev and there were a series of podcasts hosted by the author of the book that were very good.

You don't need to have the book to listen to them btw as they are stand alone programs. Anyway I would recommend them, there are about 10 programs of it on itunes.

Yeah, I have the Judging Dev podcasts already

Any other suggestion?

I'm subscribed to the Talking History ones too but the quality control on them lets them down badly from time to time, edits the like of which you'd expect from a butcher, you get the impression it's just thrown together as an afterthought when the radio show is over.

It's a shame they don't make some of the segments they do in the second hour of the show available too. They generally have good author interviews.

Hardcore history by Dan Carlin is pretty good. American viewpoint but he's pretty objective. On itunes or podcastalley.com
