A Great Courses lecture series covering the history of ancient Egypt, taught by Egyptologist Bob Brier. It is aimed at listeners with little prior background in Egyptian history.
One commenter, who knew little about Egyptian history, found Bob Brier an amazing lecturer whose engaging delivery inspired further reading and museum visits.

A bit of a non-sequitur, but I knew very little about Egyptian history and recently decided to listen to a Great Courses series about it. The professor who delivers the lectures, Bob Brier, was amazing. His affect is that of a guy from Brooklyn discussing the Mets, but focusing on pharaohs and hieroglyphs. The course was so well done it inspired me to but a few of his other books and recommendations and start thinking about taking a trip to my Museum's Egyptian collection.
