Make sure to follow it up with Robin Pearson’s History of Byzantium. He’s still centuries away from done, but I like it even better than Mike Duncan’s after it gets going.

You’re welcome!! Hope it serves you and your cousin well :)
Carl Humpfries’s Piano Handbook and Piano Improvisation Handbook are great, and cover enough for even an absolute beginner. I like noodling around with no previous musical knowledge, and they work very well for that. I think both include pretty decent sections on rhythms, and discuss pretty varied styles.

At $200, what’s the catch?
Anything by The Correspondents:
All done with practical effects and camera trickery. The making of videos are amazing: first second.
Also shoutout to the parody song Climate Change Denier.
Same goes for Tron Legacy.
Some of the inventions that historically took way longer than you’d expect: the shoe, the wheelbarrow, and the stirrup.
Also archival techniques so that history’s not as messy the next time around.
Readings in Classical Chinese Philosophy is a great little collection of some central texts, with minimal but helpful commentary. Some, like the Analects and the Daodejing, are short enough to be printed in full, and others have selections.
For Indian philosophy, I don’t have any immediate recommendations. I’ve heard good things about Edward Conze’s books on the history of Buddhism, but have never read them myself. Odds are they might be a bit dated, but still a strong introduction.
For a general overview, Peter Adamson’s podcast and book series History of Philosophy Without any Gaps is usually great, and his strong suit is in medieval islamic thought.
Thank god that’s changing tho. CK3 and (though to a lesser extent) Vicky 3 both have relatively decent tutorials.
Both my recommendations are over now, but I love the niche of conversational history podcasts, or, as someone once put it, people talking about history like other podcasts talk about bad movies:
How does Organic Maps compare to OsmAnd?
“an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs”
The culprit went into hiving.
I’m not a huge fan of the graphics in these 2D FF remasters, they feel ‘neither here nor there’ with some elements in pixel art and some not.
Octopath Traveler’s the only game I feel got away with it, probably because the heavy filtering makes it more consistent.
Of course! Thanks for the heads up.
My bad, I reposted this because of the recent Google stuff without considering that issue. I’ll remove it if anyone asks.
The one podcast I listen to every week as it comes out is Lateral, a trivia show hosted by Tom Scott with rotating guests.
Other than that, I have a thing for casual and conversational history podcasts, including:
