My Favorite History Podcasts

This long list covers history podcasts specifically; for my general list of five podcast recommendations, see this list: https://erinoriordan.blogspot.com/2021/01/5-recommended-podcasts.html

Here they are, in alphabetical order:

All Bad Things

The Atlas Obscura Podcast

Behind the Bastards

Podcast host Robert Evans - not the Robert Evans you're thinking of  - is an author whose novel is called After the Revolution. It's a dystopian fantasy about cybernetically-enhanced North Americans living after a civil war that splits the United States into very different countries. I haven't read it, but if you want to hear excerpts, Evans reads them on the show.

You Must Remember This

This one's mostly about movies and Hollywood history, so a very niche topic within U.S. history.
