Been listening to Dan Carlin for years. He's highly entertaining - a refreshing way to take in history. Has his own unique and vivid take on events of the past.

I've always got at least one history podcast series on the phone.
As a sometime world history teacher, I appreciated finding the BBC/British Museum series A History of the World in 100 Objects. While I wouldn’t play the episodes in an Alabama classroom, they did lead me to some useful info and images. Besides, I've really enjoyed listening to them, though I still haven’t heard the whole series.
Mike Duncan's Revolutions is on hiatus while he becomes a father and decides which revolution to tackle next. (Crossing my fingers for Haiti.) I enjoy Duncan's irreverent style more than Dan Carlin's, which failed to win me over. Duncan's French is terrible, but at least he realizes it.
But the most awe-inspiring effort — and I think the most appealing — is The History of Philosophy without Any Gaps. At Episode 240 it has reached the European Middle Ages, having already stopped in on Jewish and Islamic philosophy. Meanwhile it has spun off a series on philosophy of India — likewise without any gaps.
I only found the series recently and am still working my way through the pre-Socratic philosophers. It's a lot more fun than it probably seems.
