    "The History of English Podcast" is really fun and gets into the weeds of why English is such a mess.

    Not be be confused with "The History of England Podcast", which is also really good.

    I love that podcast, and particularly when I'm driving, because while Kevin tends to repeat himself and speak slowly, it's generally pedagogically sound, somehow in the service of his point and ensuring I don't miss much if I get distracted. He's also an attorney (probate, IIRC), so when he occasionally drifts into legal stuff, it's doubly insightful.
