PerilPastry posted:Just gonna second this quote from the True Stories thread and recommend the poo poo out of Detective: Agreed. I find that some of Lt. Kenda's views on crime and criminals are a little black and white, but he's a good storyteller. As was said, great voice too. The podcasts are fairly short and well-paced, which is nice. I'm curious to see what they are going to do for Season Two.

Revolutions is a seriously good podcast. I live listening to the hosts voice, he doesn't shove his own personal politics in in a distracting, awful ways and the sound quality is great. This is a sharp contrast to other history podcasts I've listened to like the Civil War history podcast that put me to sleep, or the history of world war II podcast that... Well, half put me to sleep, half grated on me.

"The history of WWII", By Ray Harris Jr. It's not very good, imo. He manages to make exciting things like dogfighting and bitter troop fighting super dull because he never changes inflection.

So I was listening to the Three Kingdoms podcast, which is a pretty cool oral telling of the (very dramaticized) historical novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms. On one of the episodes he gave a shout out to GrouchoMarx for linking to his podcast. It's not often that I get into something that then leads me right back to SA rather than the other way around.  Anyway, it's a great podcast and I'm just glad to see that goons dig it too. Edit: Forgot the link http://www.3kingdomspodcast.com/ Nickoten fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Oct 28, 2015 |

One of my big podcast dreams other than #freebriandunning is getting more Whistlestop, even when they're covering political stories I'm familiar with they're delightful. Just wish we got them more often. Bout to listen to the one on Mario Cuomo.

awww bummer, that's kind of just like the hardcore history cliche, so over world war II, they're just catering to the military jacket wearing libertarians really into history (of wars). No matter how well researched it is. That's why WWI was at least kind of refreshing. If we really really really have to stay 20th Century, anything but moooooore World War II. I mean I remember hearing about him doing some ancient Egyptian thing but being unsure because of the sources or something? I'd still prefer something like that even then and more episodes like Prophets of Doom.

YES! I go from ranting and whining about what I thought would be the WORST possible hardcore history topic (buh buh buh more ww2) to looking this morning and basically seeing that Dan Carlin did my loving JAM. THE THOUSAND NATIONS OF THE PERSIAN EMPIRE DESCEND UPON YOU (gently caress 300 and Frank Miller tho for real) I hope this ends up leaning way more Persian than Spartans though, like the episode description seems to indicate but not the initial minutes (I assume Sparta'll just be used as an intro to more Persian Empire stuff), Sparta's overrated and overplayed in pop history. Talk about the Band of Thebes owning them maybe. Punkin Spunkin fucked around with this message at 18:22 on Oct 29, 2015 |

Looks like everyone else was waiting for the episode too, dancarlin.com is down. It's 3½ hours on the Achaemenid empire. Only thing I remember about it is that it ruled almost half of the entire population of the world at the time.

Dunno why Xerxes (supposedly) even asked for an adviser to explain to him why the Spartans were stubbornly blocking his path? Hadn't he fought barbarians before?  Surely the Scythians were similarly crazy and war-like.

Sounds like it should be a fun episode, I love when they do things I know very little about, which is why I'm looking forward to the upcoming Revolutions series on the Hatian revolution. Also, Mike Duncan announced that he has a book deal, its gonna be about the era between the Gracchus brothers and Sulla

I just want more one-off episodes about interesting historical events that are lesser known. The full series are for sure amazing, but take multiple years to complete. Give me more Prophets of Doom / Thor's Angels type of episodes.

Ya know, intrinsically dull? Blitz stuff especially? I start to fall asleep, which is bad since I work with super dangerous chemicals. His biographies on Hitler and Churchill were pretty okay, but I skipped the entire Blitz because I couldn't take another ep of him talking about dogfighting so emotionlessly. Dude needs to get a little more Carliny and less NPRy.

A good episode, but as someone who's really really into that era of history I didn't learn much new (the exchanging of blood was an interesting tidbit, tho). Still, it was fun just hearing the story of Cyrus getting the Carlin treatment. If I were a betting man, I'd bet that Carlin leans toward Cyrus believing his own rhetoric.

Any episode that makes me want to re-visit Age of Empires 1 is a good one in my book. Maybe spent a little too much time on the Assyrians for what was ostensibly an episode about the Persians, but it makes sense to talk about them regardless.

He stole over a million dollars that the cops never took back and he has the balls to beg for donations so he doesn't have to back to working for a living. He was only prosecuted for the first 200,000 of a much larger sum that originally got him investigated. Also I hate his voice as much as I have ever hated any voice. I hate it as much as Sarah Vowell's--as much as David Sedaris'.

Oh yeah he's a hilariously lame hypocritical scumbag, but I can't get over Smug Voice and it's kind part of the appeal for me. Plus it's hilarious listening to him ask for donations back then all like "YOU GIVE MONEY TO THAT KANYE GUY, YOU SHOULD BE GIVING ME MONEY".
