History Unplugged Podcast

Scott Rank casts a wide net across history - ancient civilizations, medieval conflicts, modern warfare, cultural movements - with the thoroughness of someone who has a PhD and the accessibility of someone who remembers not everyone does. His guest interviews with fellow historians produce some of the best conversations because he knows enough to ask the right follow-up questions. Good for history enthusiasts who want depth without pretension. The solo episodes are solid but the interviews are where this really shines. Consistent quality across a huge range of topics.
