Any "casual" books that people with a maths background can read about physics?

I'm not sure if this is clear. So I am looking for a book that could give an introduction to physics (or could just be something to read about physics that is fairly interesting) that is for more math literate audiences. I have an undergrad in maths, and I do not know much about physics, and I am aware that having mathematical knowledge will not give me much of an advantage in physics. But I would like a book that could use mathematics to explain topics that I could still read casually. I feel like I have to break out a pen and paper when reading the Theoretical Minimum as I lose track of all the variables and stuff, but I would like a book that could use mathematical structures to explain physics in the process. Like say "Green's theorem could be applied here to show X" or something.

If such books do not exist, could anyone just recommend some good ones that explain physics to a layperson that can be read casually, in general?

Looking for podcasts focussed on post WW2 (1945-present) history

Although I listen to many history podcasts (Hardcore History, The Rest is History) I find recent history to be much more interesting than history in general, and would like some recommendations about podcasts which discuss it. In particular I would like podcasts that discuss recent history of countries around the globe as well.
