If you could only choose one podcast...

...to listen to on a deserted island (with wifi, strangely) what podcast would you choose?

Would it be a news oriented podcast, true crimes, sports, or something else? I listen to a couple sports oriented podcasts now and then, but my favorite is The History of Rome.

So far I'm on episode 78, which I believe is roughly about 33 hours into it, which makes sense as most podcasts are less then a half hour. The series begins in 500 BC, and at present I'm about to ring in the first century of Rome, it is 98 AD and the short tenured Nerva (16 months) is about to be replaced by the greatest general of the day, Trajan. It's pretty riveting learning about the earliest western empire and the intrigue and murder that sustained it.

I read the entire business as a kid. Couldn't get enough and have wondered why ever since. Now I know!

hmmm . . I'll have to give that a listen.

I like the Fall of Civilizations series that Musk listens to, that occasionally puts out a new episode every now and again.

. . but there have only been so many civilizations. I think they will have to go back and do more detailed accounts, or investigate smaller civilizations.

I listen to Tim Pool Daily Show almost every day.

Wouldn't do much good on a deserted island though...the Culture War would be over for me.

If ever there was a reason to be on a deserted island, that would be it.

You should give Mike Duncan's podcast "Revolutions" a listen, as well

That is also a great YouTube channel. One of my favorite channels for their videomaking skills, as well as excellent storytelling.

Fall of Civilizations

A podcast about the collapse of civilizations throughout history. Why do civilizations collapse? What happens afterwards? And what did it feel like to watch it happen?

Yep, listen to that one too.
