A Great Courses lecture series by geologist Robert Hazen covering how Earth formed and changed over its history, from its origins through its geological and biological evolution. It is a companion to his book The Story of Earth.
One commenter says the course covers much of the same material as Hazen's book and, used together with it, left them with strong retention of the subject.

Related: I recently read "The Story of Earth" by Robert Hazen and it's a fascinating read. Highly recommend. The author also has a few Great Courses courses. "The Origin and Evolution of Earth" is a companion to the book (it covers much of the same material) but the two together left me with significant retention of the material. It's fascinating to go out hiking now with my kids and be able to entertain and educate them with facts about the rocks and formations we are hiking on :-)
