Revolutions is pretty great. It is much more of a history class take on different revolutions. He doesn't paint the grand picture that carlin does but episodes are short (a shite ton of episodes though) and all the topics are really interesting.

I will heartily second this.

I wasn't quite as big a fan of the Bolivar revolutions, but that's mostly because there were so many people and places that I had trouble mentally keeping track.

His coverage of both the French Revolution and Haitian Revolution was phenomenal - didn't know how complex the Haitian Revolution (i.e., not the straightforward slave revolt turned liberated nation story we are told in school) was until I listened to his podcast.
