Some recent finds:
Fall of Civilizations
Not sure how much ancient history I'll post on this site, but this podcast, called The Fall of Civilization is now watchable.
I won't embed the videos here, because for language learners it's always better to watch the video on youtube (after having clicked on CC -- on the lower right-hand side of the player -- to be sure you have the subtitles if you want them).
