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)

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.

Anything by The Correspondents:

Fear and Delight

Inexplicable

All done with practical effects and camera trickery. The making of videos are amazing: first second.

Also shoutout to the parody song Climate Change Denier.

Same goes for Tron Legacy.

Only 95?

Revolution 9, as was often joked about on beatlescirclejerk in the other place.

Thank god that’s changing tho. CK3 and (though to a lesser extent) Vicky 3 both have relatively decent tutorials.

Both my recommendations are over now, but I love the niche of conversational history podcasts, or, as someone once put it, people talking about history like other podcasts talk about bad movies:

The Lesser Bonapartes

Dead Ideas

How does Organic Maps compare to OsmAnd?
