I have been realizing more and more that I've forgotten most of the history I learned in primary school and college. I work/study in a STEM field, but in my free time I am very interested in leftist politics and organizing. However, I think having a good baseline understanding of US history as well as major events in international history is really important to discussing politics with people at a deeper level. Details on the types of resources I'm looking for below the line.
I'm particularly busy reading and writing for my work lately, so reading dense non-fiction is not something I find I can commit to. I've tried a few times - for example, I find Howard Zinn's "People History.." fascinating, but it's simply too dense for me to work through in its entirety.
As a result, I've been looking for video resources that I could watch during meals or breaks. I would be interested in podcasts or audio resources as well, though I sometimes find it harder to focus on just audio because I'll usually try and multitask then. I'm also not looking for extremely in-depth coverage of specific events (for example, I really enjoy Dan Carlin's podcast, but it isn't the broad-strokes knowledge that I really need before I can dig in deeper). Basically, I'd like a YouTube channel or something similar that provides bit-sized (up to an hour max) segments which I could work through to better understand history. |
