Podcasts, courses, documentary series, etc

Stuff you're watching or listening to that is actually educational.

I'd be happy to hear about any podcast or course recommendations. Right now I'm doing a Greek and Roman mythology course on Coursera, which is really fun so far. Although I did study a couple of subjects on Greek mythology at uni, I don't remember much from that.

I love the Hardcore History podcasts but I have to finish the latest series. Kinda hard when each episode is 4 hours long. :/

Ken Burns. The Roosevelts: An Intimate History.

Would recommend. In fact would recommend any of Ken Burns' series.

His recent documentary on Vietnam was quite good.

I am watching Jonathan Meades's documentaries on architecture in Hitler's Germany, Stalin's Russia, Mussolini's Italy and Franco's Spain which is a four part series spaced out over about 25 years you can see them here:

The History of English podcast is really good.

It's pretty dense and I'm not interested in more recent history so I doubt I'll ever finish it, but it's very well done and informative.

I also intermittently listen to the Revolutions podcast on Spotify and Hardcore History on YouTube.

The Rest is History

Very interesting series of discussions between two maverick historians.

In Our Time, the long-running BBC radio series hosted by Melvin Bragg is still excellent and has a very wide range of subject matter to dip into.

For my programming subject they got us to watch this video related to diversity and inclusiveness in IT.... it says that in Japan they don't have street names - they have block numbers....
