Best history magazine for a casual? I'm thinking like a Nat Geo for history?

by eaglessoar

I don't want scholarly articles, I guess you could call it pop history but I'm thinking a magazine like Nat Geo where there is a large breadth and variety of articles but all related to history. One issue might have an article on King John's law reforms, the Aztec buildings, Babylonian/Assyrian relations etc. You get the idea.

I love reading about history and have a stack of books I am working through but I also loving reading my National Geographics because it exposes me to things I would never personally seek out

You might try Smithsonian. Not purely dedicated to history, but it's inexpensive, and has casual reads that can lead you to look further into random topics.

History Today is very good and very readable, but I am not sure if it available in the US

For any Spanish-speaker, try to get Todo es Historia. It might be impossible to get outside of Argentina, but there are some articles in their website.

National Geographic actually just started a history magazine:

I haven't read it yet so I can't give a good review, but I flipped through it at the store and it looks like it's pretty full of pop history stuff. It was about 80 some pages and I saw absolutely no advertisements.
