Audible (audiobook site) has this “Great Courses” section. I found this series very enjoyable and I bet that you would, too.

Ooh. Awesome find. I have been listen to the hardcore history podcasts by Dan Carlin which are amazing. Audible is one of his advertisers so I got a great course book on the history of war. Wish I went with this one.
