France - related podcasts: my list
A recent thread here inspired me to share my entire list - hoping that some may be useful to you, and that there may be more out there I haven't yet found (but you have).

Well, there is indeed more in the history section: the latest entry in The Age of Napoleon is a meta discussion by a group of Napoleon-centric podcasters on the nature of their work. So, this has added to my entries, although these are as yet untried:
Napoleon 101: https://napoleonbonapartepodcast.com/
The Napoleonic Quarterly: https://open.spotify.com/show/1LwR0sFBiocLq9ws9Lc7QH
The Napoleonicist: https://open.spotify.com/show/7DtGGrhwOQQH8mJCT2R7fu
A check of Google indicates that more than 300 thousand books have been published on the life and times of Napoleon - one could thus spend an entire life in their reading. Although less voluminous, one could spend a good bit of time listening as well.

Well, you never know ... the highly enjoyable Paname podcast (link above) has just returned after an 18 month absence, with a very enjoyable episode on the idiosyncrasies (word play especially) of the signage on Paris' streets.
