Revisionist History

Image
  Famous author Malcolm Gladwell's (the tipping point) podcast about looking at history from a different perspective. It's interesting but his voice is annoying. Episodes are under 45 minutes. 2/5.

In Our Time

Image
  Leading British experts on a particular historical subject talk for about forty minutes.  From the BBC. 3/5.

How to Invent a Country

Image
  This is from the BBC, and it takes a country, like Germany, or Italy, and it shows how that country was created, often by examining little stories. The narrator is very British, and I learned a lot from it. Episodes are about twenty minutes. 4/5.

The Flophouse

Image
  Two comedian friends and their friend, a bartender talk about very bad movies. It is very funny.  It's more funny to watch the movies they watch after they talk about them. Very long, each episode is about an hour and a half.  I like that they are funny without being mean (to other people, they are sometimes quite mean to each other). It shows you can be funny without being a dick. 4/5.
