Once you've exhausted the supply of Hardcore History episodes, here are a few recommendations. I think these do a good job of fitting into the Dan Carlin-style "chatting about history" as opposed to the drier "reading off a list of names and events" style:
- Patrick Wyman's "Fall of Rome" [ http://wondery.com/wondery/shows/fallofrome/ http://wondery.com/wondery/shows/fallofrome/ ] and "Tides of History" [ http://wondery.com/wondery/shows/tidesofhistory/ http://wondery.com/wondery/shows/tidesofhistory/ ]. Good discussion of the Late Imperial period and of the Early Modern Era. Main disadvantage is that the sponsor messages are like commercials in that they abruptly butt into the middle of the episodes.
- "History on Fire" [ http://historyonfirepodcast.com/episodes/ http://historyonfirepodcast.com/episodes/ ]. I find these episodes a little hit and miss, and the narrator's thick accent does take some getting used to, but it's definitely worth a try.
- "MartyrMade" [ http://historyonfirepodcast.com/episodes/ http://historyonfirepodcast.com/episodes/ ]. Probably the closest to Dan Carlin in terms of style, where he's using history as a jumping-off point to explore questions about the human condition. Currently it contains a history of Zionism and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and also an analysis of cannibalism and ritual sacrifice in history (a companion series to the "History on Fire" episodes about the Aztecs).
