History done by a scholar, with proper attention to the reliability of the sources, what is known or inferred, the intertwining of interpretation and narrative. Well narrated, well paced and entertaining.

The podcast if you want to hear about the history of Japan. The narrator is excellent and does not sound like a robot reciting from a script. His little asides will make you laugh, and you will probably learn a thing or two along the way.
