Youtube
If you have a LOT of time I would recommend the
Great War and
World War Two channels.
Both do a week by week analysis of the world wars and have a ton of amazing side content, like biographies and tactics/hardware breakdown.
Indy Neidell is an amazing host and I don't regret the time I spent watching both channels.
In the same vein, he also does another channel called
time ghost where his team go over less well known conflict and the in between of the 2 worlds wars
If you want really ancient history,
PBS eons is a great source.
if you want some more popular history,
History Buff does a great job at breaking down everything that's wrong with Hollywood movies.
He takes the excuse of a particular movie context to tell you about the real thing that happen at the time and provide context wherever possible.
A really good channel to get started.
Vintage space does a fantastic job of going over all the development of the space Age. It gives a really picture of the beginning of Nasa and other such institutions.
Another great channel is
the History Guy, he mainly specialize in really cool people that were a little forgotten by history but deserve to be remembered.
Some of the best stories I know I learn from this channel, good stuff.

Podcast
If you have to only remember on thing from this post is that you need to listen to
Hardcore History by Dan Carlin.
He is the best person I know that paint a vivid picture of what it was to live at the certain place or certain time he is talking about.
He sure takes his time to release new episodes but they are made to last and deserve to be re listened to, once in a while.
Another podcast I started to listen to not too long ago is
"Fall of Civilizations"
It is a podcast that goes over what lead to the downfall of famous civilizations and what we can learn from them.
There is a surprising big number of them and each episode has really good production value.
If you are looking for something with more imagery when listening to a podcast I recommend
Tides of history
You learn history through the lenses of composite character, sound effect and other method to really put you in the time period covered.
There is a lot of different subject and the last season they have been covering the Paleolithic world and the early Humans !
If you are looking for the big brash and colorful characters of history, I would recommend
History on Fire.
It made by an Italian history professor and goes over the various Punk rocker and other troublemaker throughout history that left a mark.
The last but not least podcast I would recommence is called
Revolutions, and it's about you've guessed it, all the most important revolutions that happened throughout history.
It goes extensively over the Russian and French revolutions (and much more), explain all the various factions and idea that lead them.
It goes on and on and leave you in the end wanting more .
