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. :/

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:
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.
