Episodes can be quite lengthy if that is the one I'm thinking of but he does sustain interest.

Same is true of a lot of History of Rock in 500 Songs though it started as about 1/2 hour episodes then seems to be 2 or 3 hours where teh presenter really sets the scene. Including what appear to be major diversions but turn out to be really educational background.

Katy Lister's podcast Betwixt The Sheets is normally great fun and very informative but is mainly on somewhat bawdy topics. Her books are pretty good too.

The Alexei Sayle Show is quite good, have it on at the moment.

Oh Brother the Hanley Brothers podcast on life in The Fall where they interview ex-members and major fans.

We're Not So Different where 2 American leftists talk about history , mainly Medieval so far though I think they have got outside of that .

Media-Eval one where an American Histyorian looks at Media representations of Medieval life and judge how good they are.

Backlisted where a pair of English publishers talk about lesser known books with a guest panelist. I caught the episode taht was recorded during last year's Galway Arts Festival

Better Read Than Dead a group of American leftists talk about books a different one per episode. turned me onto some good stuff I hadn't read before Anita Loos and George Schuyler to name 2.

We Need To Talk About Whiteness British one about decolonising race etc talking to a different guest each week.

The Red Nation Podcast native American show about decolonisation etc ties in with the Landback campaign

Opening Arguments a lawyer and a comedian look at current American politics from a legal perspective

Guilty Feminist funny alternat6ive comedy based feminist podcast covers a lot of great topics.

Yo! Is This Racist the star of Star Tek Lower Decks and a pair of fellow comedians look at listener voicemails that ask about the grey area of prejudice etc.

This is now an umbrella group of different podcasts including the Katy Lister one I mention above, Gone Medieval and a few others.

I think it started with a series by Dan Snow whose father is a very well known reporter with channel 4. I think Dan is well known in his own right too.

Not sure if it was mentioned before but Tunnel 29 (BBC Intrigue) is great. It’s the true story of an escape to the west via a tunnel dug by a group of students under the Berlin Wall. There’s maybe 8/9 episodes. Excellent podcast.

Can anyone tell me what episode of Tommy and Hector where Tommy tells the story of him hitch hiking and and how he used to just disappear?

Listening to Andy Dawson Athletico Mince, which is great (although you need to listen from the start, because running jokes and references are evolved over time), led me to Top Flight Time Machine, which is just Andy Dawson and Sam Delaney bantering between themselves, and is absolutely the funniest podcast ever. Sam Delaney is sooo funny.

Cheers I'll add that to my list.

Liking Dudesy a lot, recently. Supposedly, it is the first podcast to have its agenda set by an AI. The Dudesy AI speaks to hosts Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen, and gives them a selection of segments to cover each week.

There's a US version - American History Hit also - only listened to a couple so far but seems very good.

Loving history podcasts recently - fill in huge gaps in my knowledge, while walking the dog or even at work!

Would recommend History Extra and Empire, along with the previously mentioned The Rest is History (great short series on the lead up to 1916 recently), also Talking History from Newstalk..
