The best podcast of 2024 ran from 2007 to 2012
https://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/the_history_of_rome/200...
I listened to all 179 episodes of the History of Rome podcast.
From a simpler time before advertising.
179- The End The history of The History of Rome...Why the Western Empire Fell when it did...Some thoughts on the future...Thank you, goodnight.
178- Not With A Bang But A Whimper In the last few years of the Western Empire a series of Emperors came and went. The cycle finally ended in 476 with the exile of Romulus Augustulus.
177- The Burning Ships In 468 the two halves of the Empire combined forces to dislodge the Vandals from North Africa.They failed spectacularly.

Fall of Civilization is my favorite each year. They only released one (very long) episode in 2024. Each episode is pretty dense, and I end up listening to each one a few times. Can't recommend it enough.

Tides of History is probably the best history podcast I've ever listened to. Instead of a sequential retelling of events it focuses much more on cause and effects and presents a holistic analysis of archaeological findings, anthropology, genetics etc. merged with historical sources/texts.
I really loved the episodes on Ancient Rome and Italy that came out earlier this year. A completely opposite approach of History of Rome (which is also great but the early episodes on the "prehistorical" period were pretty meh.. of course it massively improved by the time it reached the mid/late Republic and especially during the Imperial period).

i found Soft Skills Engineering Podcast this year and i'm enjoying it!
Personal favorites:
Conversations with Tyler - Tobi Lütke on Creating Shopify for Americans as a German in Canada (Ep. 221). I found Tobi's viewpoint as a European who has set up a business in North America to be particularly interesting and unique.
The Rest is Politics - Trump Returns: What Now? I was not pleased by the result but this podcast helped me process it and understand some of the reasoning behind it.
The Social Radars - Dan Siroker. First time coming across the Optimizely story and found it a fascinating one.
What's on your list?
