If you haven't checked out the hardcore history podcasts I recommend doing so. The punic war episodes are particularly good.

And while we are in the topic of podcasts, "The History of Rome" by Mike Duncan is amazing.

Agreed. His second podcast series, "Revolutions", is excellent as well.

I have to admit I struggled a little through the English revolution. The American revolution was much more interesting. Then the French revolution was absolutely fascinating.

I listened to the French revolution twice, it was that good.

They are all very good. Even with a decent background in history, as an American, I tended to think of the 1840s in terms of the lead up to the US Civil War and ignored/forgot most of what was happening in Europe at the time. The season he did around this period was a great reminder of all of the seeds of change and destruction for future generations that were sown in this decade.

"The History of Rome" podcast is quite good as well.

Let me also chime in a recommendation for Historia Civilis' podcast, very very good about the Roman era.
