- 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?
