If you enjoy history, check out Dan Carlin's Hardcore History series on WWI, "Blueprint for Armageddon." About 20+ hours of content.

The History of Rome is another history podcast among the all time greats of the medium I think, worth checking out.

Two other great history reads are -

1. The Great Game - by Peter Hopkirk 2. A History of the English-Speaking Peoples - by Winston Churchill
