A UC Berkeley history survey covering European history from 1453 to the present, delivered as recorded university lectures available through Berkeley webcasts and archived audio/video.
Commenters recommend it as a free, listenable university history lecture series that works well as audio during a commute.

In general, I've always wanted to do something like what you're talking about: track down some deeply interesting online courses from top universities, and then just gorge myself on learning.
Look into webcasted lectures from major universities. MIT, Yale, etc all have them. My favorite is Berkeley, where all webcasted lectures have an audio-only option.
