I doubt that it would be the same but From Yao to Mao: 5000 Years of Chinese History is a really good starting place for the broad brushstrokes of Chinese history.
Kenneth Hammond is a comrade too.

That looks cool, do you have a link for free courses or should I google it myself? hahaha.
I checked the overview online and yeah this particular podcast barely even explains Chinese philosophy, it glosses over Confucianism, just name-drops Daoism here and there, and he tried explaining Buddhism but conceded he was not a Buddhist and so you should take him with a grain of salt. Like I said, History of China is a very bourgeois account that just looks at the dynamics and movements at the level of the emperor and his betraying nobles and very little else.
