Hazborgufen posted:Are there any good podcasts about the Soviet Union? I'm talking everything from early revolution to the Cold War, to politics between the various Eastern Bloc countries. Especially interesting would be anything that helps to picture life behind the Iron Curtain - culture, underground groups, contact with the West, scientists, etc. Surely the Eastern Border podcast is good for that.

golden bubble posted:In Our Time is good, but you should look for the episodes after the shows on the Industrial Revolution, which are pretty early in the series. Those are the episodes where the host gets confronted about his opinions on the British Imperialism, but things get much better after that. I really enjoy the rest of the series so far. On the opposite note, I've soured on the History Extra Podcast. I used to listen to every episode, but I found it feeling more and more Tory, so I've been skipping episodes for that podcast now. Lastly, the History of Philosophy without any Gaps is still amazing, but I can't listen to it casually. Philosophy has so many specific terms and unique abstractions that missing a minute or two can leave me totally lost. Which episodes are those where Bragg gets shot down? I'd want to hear them.

Sydin posted:A story I'd really like to hear is the impact of the Age of Imperialism, WW1, and WW2 on Africa and the Middle East, from the perspective of Africa and the Middle East. The scramble for Africa, post WW1/Ottoman Empire partitioning of the Middle East, and the Africa campaigns in WW2 largely shaped the geopolitics of those areas up through the modern day and something other than a bland retelling from an Imperialist western perspective would be fascinating. History of the 20th century is pretty good for this. And not problematic... Last time I checked.

Vagabong posted:Nicholas II probably evokes more sympathy than Charles I or Louis XVI simply due to how badly things ended not just for him but his immediate family, even if his own actions played a major role in landing them in that cellar. I'm afraid I too disagree with this viewpoint, too. Caring as he was to his family, he was a theocratic, antisemitic autocrat. I certainly have more sympathy for XVI, which admittedly, ain't much either.

Dude’s waaaay better talking about ancient history than anything after the industrial revolution. That reminds me of the Sunday School Dropouts. I was sad that they didn't continue the podcast with other religious texts. Wonder what the two of them are up to, now?

Appoda posted:I've been listening to Sunday School Dropouts, a show where a former Christian and a non-believer read through the bible a book at a time. They're not experts, but they are perhaps the cutest couple in podcast history and their rapport is very charming. I remember those two! I sent in a couple of things to them and they read it out and I felt very validated. I was so hoping they would read other holy books in the same way, but alas - it was not to be.

Eldoop posted:Are there any good podcasts on the history of the Christian church out there aside from Communio Sanctorum? I started listening to CS after seeing it recommended a lot but I was really put off by the way he talks about Jews and Judaism. In the first episode he paints the rabbis of Jesus' time as a bunch of squabbling out-of-touch relics and in the second he flat out describes Judaism as existing to pave the way for Jesus. I'm very interested in church history but not so much in being preached to and told that my religion is just so much scaffolding for the true faith. I was about to suggest Pontifacts, but that's about the Popes and not specifically early church stuff. Other people's suggestions sound better.

I think History of the 20th century by Marc Painter did a pretty good general overview of WW1 also. But I would certainly say WDFs is more in-depth re. politics and diplomacy. HoXX is more holistic.

Sydin posted:That said, I think there's a very big difference between the US backing a bunch of clandestine militias and factionalized warlords in Afghanistan vs backing the legitimate government of a developed modern nation in Ukraine. I won't pretend that anything close to all of that support being provided is actually ending up in the proper hands, but I also don't see Ukraine devolving into a extremist failed state post-war, regardless of the outcome. I do know I've heard some hand-wringing over what Ukraine will do after the invasion with all these armaments to hand, but I find it extraordinarily unlikely it would be anything like what some have suggested.
