#242Sean Carroll's "Great Courses" production on the "Higgs Boson, and Beyond" [1] offers like 5 hours of what you'll likely gradually find to be a very accessible, informative and entertaining audio/aural chronology of the Higgs boson's conception; through its planning, and on through the LHC experiment, and finally past its discovery, into the current state of affairs regarding field theory.

#243The World at War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_at_War It's a BBC series that chronicles the second world war. It was made in the 1970s and features interviews with the people who were actually there. I really recommend everybody watch it at least once in their life. I think you can find it on YouTube.
"The Sorrow and the Pity" -- interviews with former French irregulars of WWII.
French Resistance veteran: "You had to be a little bit crazy to join the Resistance."
French SS volunteer: "We were raised on stories of the Spanish Civil War: priests being murdered, nuns raped."
