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 Civilizations, is now watchable on a new YouTube channel. Only the first 8 episodes have been converted to videos as of this writing, the newer (and longer) podcasts (Aztec, Byzantine, Han) can be found on Soundcloud.
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).
