Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - 5 part podcast series on The Mongolian Empire (eps 43-47):

http://podbay.fm/show/173001861

Fascinating yet gory at the same time.

Yes! I am on my second listen through to the Mongolian one.

I devour podcasts on long train/bus journeys and on nights when insomnia hits, so I am always looking for something new (be warned, I have a weakness for paranormal/conspiracy investigation stuff, so I marked those with an *):

Bugle
China Policy podcast
Gralien Report*
Guardian Science Weekly
Higherside Chats*
Mysterious Universe*
Sinica
Skeptics Guide to the Universe*
Skeptoid*  (there’s a Chinese language version of this too!)
Uhh Yeah Dude
WTF with Marc Maron

Honorable mention to my long-time language learning buddies:

He doesn't flinch from describing exactly what the Mongols got up to on their conquests either...there were a few parts that left me feeling a bit traumatized. 

There's one section when some Islamic emissaries, unaware of the invasion, are on the way to Beijing and describe what they think is a hill in the distance but it turns out to be a huge pile of bodies...and the road there is impassable because of blood and other fluids... th_ao

Marc Maron can be awesome. Did you listen to the interview with Bob Zmuda? He was Andy Kaufman's partner in crime.
