Dan Carlin has a great radio voice, and is an entertaining presenter. Hardcore history is really only okay on the history front though. Plus they are relatively shallow with how short they are.
- RealityVoid 8mo agoI think this is a fair take but it works great as a gateway drug! I am curious what are your recommendations though. Always eager for expanding my horizon.
- ecshafer 8mo agoRevolutions Podcast is good and well researched (Especially later seasons). The History of the Germans Podcast is really great (100+ episodes from Ottonians just to Habsburgs, so its pretty well in depth). History of France Podcast is good, its from a University professor, but not overly academic but well researched. History of England Podcast is good as well, starting with Anglo Saxon and Post Roman England. He uses a lot of high quality and primary sources. A History of Italy podcast starts with the end of Rome and is 200 episodes to get to 1500. I like in depth, single topic podcasts as you can tell as opposed to the podcasts that jump around topics.
- RealityVoid 8mo agoRevolutions is my go-to. I also listened to History of Rome from Duncan. And because of this History of Byzantium is on my to check out list as well. I will try the others you mentioned. I'm very eager to find others as in depth as revolutions. Thanks!
- Hikikomori 8mo agoI think Carlin himself would be the first to admit that, even does so in the intro to many episodes. I think he already suffers from the length of some of his series.
