  • The one podcast I listen to every week as it comes out is Lateral, a trivia show hosted by Tom Scott with rotating guests.

    Other than that, I have a thing for casual and conversational history podcasts, including:

    • The Lesser Bonapartes (old but gold, the full backlog's only available on spotify under the title 'From the desk of Glen')
    • Dead Ideas
    • Some 'leader ranking' podcasts with the same formula: Rex Factor (British monarchs), Totalus Rankium (Roman Emperors and then American Presidents) and Pontifacts (Popes)
  • Make sure to follow it up with Robin Pearson's History of Byzantium. He's still centuries away from done, but I like it even better than Mike Duncan's after it gets going.

  • You're welcome!! Hope it serves you and your cousin well :)

  • Carl Humpfries's Piano Handbook and Piano Improvisation Handbook are great, and cover enough for even an absolute beginner. I like noodling around with no previous musical knowledge, and they work very well for that. I think both include pretty decent sections on rhythms, and discuss pretty varied styles.
