Fall of Civilizations – A podcast by Paul Cooper, this series looks at the factors that led to the downfall of civilisations through history, using meticulous research and storytelling. Episodes can run more to more than three hours long (!!!), but episodes are only out every four months or so. It feels less like a typical podcast, and more like an audiobook, but all the better for it.
