Not a podcast, but Durant's "The Story of Civilization" is available as audiobooks on Audible. It's something like 500 hours, but hey, a lot of stuff has happened.

It’s also over fifty years old and history as a science has developed a lot since then.

The books can be considered primary sources by now, as examples of history writing in the 1920s to the 1960s. I wouldn’t bother reading them to learn about the past anymore though.
