History Extra, from the BBC, has interviews and discussions with historians on all sorts of topics. The historians tend to be British, often with a new book out. The Dig is a long (up to 2 hours) interview podcast, from a left perspective. Ditto Doug Henwood’s Behind the News. The CBC’s Ideas has been doing radio documentaries since 1965, on everything, science to mythology to food, you name it. Now as podcasts.
