Tamed: Ten Species that Changed our World by Alice Roberts
Plenty of content (14 hours) and not too dumbed down. About 8 of the 10 species are the ones you’d expect. 8/10
It Won’t Be Easy: An Exceedingly Honest (and Slightly Unprofessional) Love Letter to Teaching by Tom Rademacher
A breezy little book about the realities of teaching (at least in the US). Interesting to outsiders & hopefully useful to those in the profession. 7/10
The Hobbit by J. R. R Tolkien, Read by Rob Inglis
A good audio-edition of the book. Unabridged & really the default one for most people. I alternated chapters of this with the excellent Prancing Pony Podcast commentaries on those chapters. 9/10
The Life of Greece: The Story of Civilization, Volume 2 (The Story of Civilization series) by Will Durant
32 hours on the history of Ancient Greece. Seemed to cover just above everything. Written in the 1930s so probably a little out-of-date in places. 7/10
