Since listening to “The History of Rome” by Duncan I have started to listen to “The History of Byzantium” because why not build up at least a foundation which I can later expand on (and correct if necessary)?
Thus I’ve become interested in podcasts about the history of Islam, especially the origin, conquest and golden age parts.
Problem is: I’m not sure how lib and US-brained any of the “good”/popular podcasts are. And a quick search on here didn’t yield good results.
I’d be fine with a Mike Duncan style podcast like Revolutions, where he sticks to facts an absolute majority of the time and where it’s clear when the lib brainworms come through…
English, German or Russian language podcast recommendations would be great, thank you in advance ^^
The Making of the Islamic World is a good one. It’s a short series done by the hosts of the Ottoman History Podcast. It’s very academic and absolutely not orientalistic or eurocentric.
Thanks for the recommendation! If it ain’t leftist at least let it be academic and not just some random dude ranting his western biases. There are good exceptions OFC, but so many podcasts like that litter the media landscape; I’ve grown tired of it…
