To return to some of my esoteric pursuits, this podcast on the Songhai Empire (and, by extension, Mali, Timbuktu and the "Western Sudan"), is worth a listen. Although really just an introduction to a complex area and period in world history, this podcaster clearly dedicated a lot of time to researching this subject. Although the Songhai state during its imperial period only lasted for a century, its fall ushered in a number of changes in the region that continue to reverberate today.
