Recommendations for follow up material after finishing 'The Plague' by Camus.

So I just finished reading The Plague after dipping into it on and off for over a year. In all honesty I found it a bit of a slog to get through, but I feel this is likely because a lot of the main themes of the book went over my head. Perhaps I should have started with The Myth of Sisyphus to have a better grounding in some of his main ideas?

I would like to check out some follow up material, preferably podcasts or short essays that can help me understand some of the concepts better. I have listened to the Philosophize This podcast episodes 224-225 and will be listening to 226, all of which revolve around Camus and his ideas. Any other recommendations of material would be welcomed, as well as your own interpretations of this book.
