Not sure where else to put this. I love listening to podcasts on road trips, I'm currently listening to the Fall of Rome by Patrick Wyman. I already listen to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. Are there any more any of you listen to? History wise.

I'm addicted to The Dollop
not straightforward history, like Carlin's
2 comedians, sitting over the kitchen table....one of the guys has done all his research, the other one is hearing it for the first time, and they crack jokes. It's pretty entertaining, and informative.
and, it very off-the-beaten-path history. Very weird, funny, obscure historical characters, events, situations, etc...They're not all homeruns, there are some duds in there, but so far, it's pretty great.
....it's also a bit "leftish liberal Hollywood" at times, which kinda annoys me, but just barely, not so much I would stop listening.

"You Must Remember This" is a podcast about classic Hollywood.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History
These are the best. Rome, Wrath of the Khans, and the one about the germanic invasion of Rome were all exceptional.

Revisionist History is decent. Gladwell can kind of be annoying sometimes though.
Stuff You Missed in History Class is pretty good as well.

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 know it's not a podcast but I just finished The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich on Audiobook and it was fantastic.

BBC - Desert Island Discs -- A celebrity is interviewed and plays their favorite records. A lot more interesting and entertaining than it sounds. On the air since 1942. 500+ episodes online -- I've listened to about 40-50, including Paul McCartney, Randy Newman, Mel Brooks, and even Field Marshall Montgomery (from 1969).
