Yeah, it seems like it might be a good time to get back on board, since he's finished 1848 and is currently doing a (thankfully much shorter) series on the Paris Commune, but then he's taking a hiatus to move to France, so now's the time to get caught up! Sepaking of Revolutions, I really want to grab some of those T-Shirts from the fundraiser.

Jordan Peterson interview on Today Explained. I don't thiiink I've ever heard someone hosting a Vox podcast shout at/over the guest before. Edit: woo I can finally ride the Gentleman Johnny party train! Jack B Nimble fucked around with this message at 18:49 on May 15, 2018 |

I think I dropped Revolutions somewhere in Haiti. I'm debating starting Haiti from scratch or just jumping to the Bolivarian episodes and doubling back to Haiti later when I run out of Revolutions. Haiti was interesting but the fact that I didn't know about it at all ahead of time meant that it was terrible commute listening because I needed to pay full attention to it. An episode would end and I'd be like "wait... what?" Jack B Nimble posted:Jordan Peterson interview on Today Explained.

The fact that he described that interview as "contentious" when it went the way it did seems to indicate that they have a pretty thin skin for debate and disagreement, and that they generally seek out interviewees who confirm their biases.

It was also, like, ten minutes long. Where's Ezra "my show can be two hours long because I own the company" Klein when you need him.

I liked it until the guy who did it suddenly went away and was replaced with a bunch of guests hosts who weren't as good. It turned out he was running some kinda script on his website where if you ever went to the Skeptoid website, it would hijack all future Amazon referral links you clicked on in the future. He made literally millions of dollars off it, but then he got found out and went to jail. This was a while back so I was wondering if he's out and doing the podcast again

It wasn't the script on his podcast website, it was stuff to do with the company that was his day job and was eBay and Amazon partners with referral links. It was all shady as gently caress, but so was everything else in 00s web advertising, let alone now.

Since it came back up, there's a weird little detail to that. Skeptoid once did a debunking on computer viruses/hacking. Basic point was that there really weren't "computer killer" viruses at that point (this was pre-ransomware) and that a lot of people were scared of something that had largely died out. He then went on to describe in detail how most viruses/hacks/infections were simply things like cookie stuffing and affiliate fraud, going into detail about how it all works. Made the news breaking a bit weird.

Revolutions got a lot easier to follow for me when I stopped listening week-to-week and just binge-listened a whole revolution. Even France was a bit hard for me week-to-week and I knew about the major actors and some of the stuff.

Same, I'm only just now on revolution 7.x. once I wait this long, if I download them all and sort by podcast date, all the episodes stay together, becoming a kind of audio book that sits in my queue, in addition to all the Trump newscasts my other feeds have turned into.

I listen week to week, but I've taken a fair amount of history courses so I feel fairly comfortable in the era. I can definitely see how binging it would be effective though.

I like to listen week to week and then at the end of a series, when Mike's on hiatus prepping for the next revolution, I binge the just-completed series in one gulp. That way I have some vague familiarity from the weekly listening, and so I'm not trying to digest the whole series in one fell swoop, but this time all the episodes hang together so I can actually follow the whole thread without losing the plot, so to speak.

quick question: how do I listen to previous seasons of Hardcore History? Seems like I only have access to episode 50 and beyond. I'm using the Overcasts app on iOS, if that helps. Revolutions is a lot of fun to listen to by the way, but god that dudes voice is grating at times.

I think a lot of them are on YouTube, and I know someone who managed to find most of the archive via Uncle Torrence if you're comfortable with that. Otherwise you can buy them from his site I think

God this Dan Carlin guy sounds like a right wing radio conspiracy theorist when he gets excited. Or as if I'm working at a drive-thru and Dan Carlin tells me about the fall of modern society when I ask him if he wants barbecue sauce. I think I prefer the narrator in Revolutions to this dude.

It's a bit of a bummer that Revolutions is so focused on telling big over-arching stories. When he focuses on little episodes it can be really fun too. I remember loving the mini-episode about Citizen Genet.

Dude doesn't do seasons, it just takes multiple real world seasons between releases.  You gotta pay for the old episodes on his store if you want to directly support the podcast, alternately they do keep the old episodes up and still hosted and there are various alternate RSS feeds around that will make it easy to reach. Alternately you can just load up the site on archive.org at various points years back to download episodes off their original posts. buglord posted:God this Dan Carlin guy sounds like a right wing radio conspiracy theorist when he gets excited.

He and Alex Jones were working and being trained in radio at the same radio stations in Texas at about the same timeframe when they both started out. Kinda like how there's animators who all go to the same film school and have samey animation styles, Alex Jones and Dan Carlin basically went to the same radio school and picked up similar radio voices.

In Our Time has some episodes on that kind of thing (which is probably a statement that would be true for literally any imaginable topic), but I don't know of any podcasts that exclusively look at historical religions.
