I am a big fan of Dan Carlin's Hardcore History. I see he's started to charge for the older episodes, but I will say the Death Throes of the Republic series (about the fall of the Roman Republic and its replacement by the Roman Empire) was fantastic. His Wrath of the Khans series (about Genghis Khan's history and legacy) is also very good, and it's free. For a shorter intro among his currently free episodes, Thor's Angels (about the "Dark Ages" and their ending) is really good, and I also liked Prophets of Doom (about the Anabaptist cult led by John of Leiden and the Münster Rebellion of 1534, which be warned is really violent and unpleasant), though his "I am going to tell you something really SENSATIONAL! Be EXCITED!" schtick gets a little wearisome.
