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.

The Constant: A History of Getting Things Wrong

The Dark Histories Podcast

Disastrous History's host, Anthony Finchum, is a firefighter by profession, which gives him an interesting perspective on how disasters happen and what kinds of safety measures could have prevented them.

Footnoting History

You Must Remember This

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