Seeking podcast or audible listening recommendations

by pureonix

If possible I would like to see what people would recommend for listening. I'd prefer anything from begining dark ages to the enlightenment from Europe to Asia.

http://thebritishhistorypodcast.com/ is aiming to be a chronological history of Britain. It started with the Ice Age, and has now reached the mid-7th century (episode 138). I've listened to a dozen or so and really enjoyed them - they're thorough and easy on the ear.

BBC Radio 4 and 4Extra broadcast some excellent history programmes, with most of them permanently available on the respective websites. (I'm not sure it they're available worldwide, but I think so.) I'd strongly recommend Radio 4's series 'A History of the World in 100 Objects', which was 100 episodes of 15 mins each, based on objects in the British Museum and presented by the museum's director, Neil MacGregor.
