There's been a lot lately about the so called Bronze Age collapse. Do you know much about that? I'm sure there's videos on Youtube about it, maybe I should look there. But I do have another book on Kindle I haven't got to yet, that is about the aforementioned Bronze Age collapse. I mean, did a bunch of marauding party crashers really set a half dozen sophisticated civilizations back a thousand years? Assuming the damage was really that extensive, where would Mediterranean-area civilization be had they not done it? I always like these what if questions.

Awesome, thank you for the link.

There's a couple podcasts of history I am familiar with: one is Byzantine history, and the other, Roman history before the Byzantine era. Both can be found on amazon as well as their own websites.

Both are excellent. A few of the Byzantine podcasts are on YouTube with some helpful graphics in fact. They can both be found on Apple podcasts as well.

I like archaeology, rather than legend and tradition, to explain the history of long buried civilizations. Too many historians simply parrot T. Livius (Livy) when they put together "histories" of Rome; Livy's Ab Urbe Condita.

Best to use face and evidence, than tradition and myth.

They are pretty extensive. Instead of using the website I got them on Amazon Music (free here too) or iTunes. I haven't listened to the one you showed me yet, but I am looking forward to doing so. Bronze age collapse is supposed to be very important and I do not know enough about it.
