some of his stuff is great, but some of it is...questionable...the last one I listened to was very tinfoil hat in in a pro trump way. left a bad taste in the mouth.
Surely all the tin-foil hat stuff was anti Trump ?
American politics eh?

I generally listen to a large amount of podcasts during the week (Easily 2-3 hours a day), so I'm always fishing about for more. Thus I'm after more suggestions.
At current I have the following:
- We have ways: Pretty much more of this please! I mean both of them get stuff wrong, but its generally hilarious, and goes in interesting directions.
- History of England: A decent podcast, albeit a bit slow at times.
- History of Witchcraft: When it's good its very good, however it does have a habit of jumping about all over the place, and the in podcast advert is ******* irritating as there's no warning. Which leads me onto:
- History of World War Two: Same guy who does the advert in the above podcast, and the same advert is in this one. Which is very annoying. Equally, I'm beginning to question the guy's narrative. Such as repeatedly claiming the US beat Japan, and that Nomonhan was a 'large scale tank battle'. So he's on a warning really, and likely to get binned. Really he's only here at current because I've got bugger all other choices.
I've tried:
So with the above in mind, do we have any suggestions?
- Pax Britannica: But that's very hit and miss and doesn't seem pull me in as much as I was expecting.
- Ancient Warfare: The audio quality is shocking on this, and the standard of information is abysmal. First episode, in-between the whine of the noise coming out of my earphones the lead presenter asks one of his co presenters a question about Light infantry. The response was several paragraphs discussing the role of Light infantry, and frequent references to 'They'... which they? Whom are we talking about? Cave men? Persians? Egyptians? WHO?
- Hardcore History: first five minutes started off with some bloke quoting the dictionary entry for the word Laconic. SKIP.
- The Anglo-Boer War: Some South African rapidly speaking down the microphone, and hopping about like a Bunny on crack made it difficult to follow. Frequent repetitions of information, and assumption of extensive background knowledge.
- Revolutions: I tried this one because I was looking for a decent podcast on the ECW, which doesn't seem to exist. This managed to get from the background, to the end of the first ECW in eight episodes. So it was in no way a decent look at the subject. The rest of the series seems to be French and American only.
(I do know of the similar thread, but its a few years old, so hopefully we'll get some new contenders)
I'll definitely be checking that last one out at least![]()

Absolutely, and that is pretty much word for word the same review that I'd give. He does generally keep his politics out of it, though, and it's well worth listening to even if you aren't a member of his tribe. Steer well clear of his social media accounts though.The British History Podcast - Lots of detail and fine until he gets on his own political hobby horse
The BBC world service podcast "13 minutes to the moon" is superb, head and shoulders above anything else I've listened to.
"Something True" is very enjoyable, too, lighthearted and entertaining. I think there's only about 12 episodes, which is a shame. This is a good one:
Ruska Pravda
Steer well clear of his social media accounts though.
Do the podcasts need to be history or war related?
Prefferably history and British is a good indicator for my intrests, although if its done properly (see We have ways) then I'm open to suggestions.
Try "The Long View" from BBC sounds. Despite being (a) from Woke Auntie and (b) presented by a Guardian journal it's very balanced and thoughtful.
