History of Rome just ended this week, after 5 years or so.

Some other good stuff:

Ancient Rome ReFocused
Twilight History

I started History of Rome again thanks to this thread. It was getting a little heavy for a while there, but I have the energy for it again.

I like Hardcore History, too, tho some of Dan's Common Sense shows tend to be a little more off

Yeah, but you wait so long for a new episode that it's dope to get a 5 hour long one.

Made it all the way through The History of Rome. Am now listening to 12 Byzantine Rulers, which sort of works as a sequel to the History of Rome (along with the Thor's Angels episode of Hardcore History, I guess). This is good but a little bit too fast paced at times. I wish it would go into the details a bit more.

Also the Wrath of the Kahns Hardcore History series is really good

for people who are into NYC history the Bowery Boys podcast is pretty good

There is a History of Byzantium podcast that bills itself as a continuation of the History of Rome (different dude, though.)
