I like the following, in no particular order:
- Hardcore History (Dan Carlin, one of my few drop everything listens generally)
- Behind the Tech (tech history interviews from Microsoft VP)
- Security Now
- The Secure Developer
- Darknet Diaries
- Intelligence Squared (oxford-style debate show)
- Indie Hackers (bootstrapping business)
- SyntaxFM (web dev, front end focused)
- BaseCS (not sure if it's still going, but good evergreen content)
- Tao3300 4y ago> Hardcore History (Dan Carlin, one of my few drop everything listens generally) Haha. Yeah, I always message my brother when a new one drops. Call out of work and block incoming calls, it's time for 5+ hours on the Pacific theatre of WWII.
- digianarchist 4y agoWhat am I missing about Dan Carlin? I'm 12 episodes [0] in and it's OK but not seeing why it's so revered. [0] https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-12-steppe-stories/ https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-12-steppe...
- BossingAround 4y agoYou probably don't like audiobooks on history. He's just great at telling captivating historical stories and finding interesting historical angles. If that's not your thing (or if you have a PhD in historical studies and think he's crazy/wrong/too reductive/...), that's totally OK. By the way, he also has a podcast called Common Sense, which is focusing on politics (as the name suggests).
- digianarchist 4y agoI'm actually listening to Richard J. Evans trilogy on Nazi Germany. Carlin feels very "pop history" in comparison. Maybe the longer episodes are better?
- BossingAround 4y agoI used hardcore history as a fun way to study boring topics at uni. It's not suitable as the only source, but it was definitely the most fun source to study.
