BBC In Our Time -- such a broad range of topics, highly recommend for a browse. ~45 minutes, usually a conversation with three or so experts in a given field, hard to get depth but excellent surveys of topics that you might not have encountered.

Fall of Civilizations -- 2-4 hour histories of various societies.

History of Napoleon -- I like to have a long-form on the go, this is my current one. Adds a lot of context to modern Europe. Previously History of Rome.

I could not find any podcast called “History of Napoleon”. Did you perhaps mean “The Age of Napoleon”?

I have been an avid fan for years and get the feeling that Melvyn Bragg is getting ready to pass the baton but there is a huge back catalogue of interesting conversation. BBC in general has a deep Podcast bench a few that stand out are More or Less, Witness, the Inquiry, occasionally the Real Story, and always never miss a Reith Lecture.
