Not sure if we still have any Phlegms around, but the Leopold II podcast is very good.
Now if I can only find the time for 90 minute podcast episodes.

A new series by Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook has been getting rave reviews. Good idea to put an ancient and a modern historian together

Started listening to Philosophize this. Only 6 episodes in, but it already feels very dense in terms of content. I'm reading A New History of Western Philosophy, and I'm feeling a strong urge to take a head dive into Plato's and Aristotle's workse. :unsure:
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Oh nice. I'm finally nearing the end of series 1.

I'm still on Philosophize This. I'm 50 episodes in out of 150. He's spending 8 episodes on Immanuel Kant (and yet only scratches the surface). The podcast gives me some ideas for areas of self study, though, so that's good. :)

Celedhring, Larch, you got any Spanish language recommendations (not futbol related)?  Trying to increase my share of Spanish podcast content.

Any particular topic? There are a few historical ones around, but personally I'm not a huge fan as they tend to be either quite disorganized or highly jingoistic.

Give this one a shot, then: https://memoriasdeuntambor.com/

It's about episodes of the history of Spain, it veers towards jingoistic at times, but I remember it had decent production values and the guy speaks in a clear way.

Just saw they have an episode about the (according to them, unacknowledged) Spanish participation in the American War of Independence named "USA. A debt with Spain".  :lol:

We already paid Spain back by taking Florida off their hands.

In retrospect, I guess me should be thankful.  :lol:
