snucks posted:The chromatography episode is a personal favorite specifically for his open hostility towards the chemist performing a messy in-house visual demonstration for his radio program. That episode is amazing, Melvyn literally starts by calling it a primary school science experiment and then the guest wheels out the test kit  I think it's the same guy that gets abruptly shut down as well when talking about the life of the person who discovered it or something? "Yes yes but we're not going to talk about that now, moving along..." I find though that IOT lives and dies on the strength of its guests, because often there's someone who's clearly very nervous and spends more time uhming and stammering than actually talking about their field, and it makes the whole thing almost unlistenable

It's a lot easier to follow than the French Revolution, simply because there's really only about 10 guys you have to keep serious track of.

And of those guys only like four or five are active at any given time.

So Haiti's finally done? Now to binge that then. Has he mentioned how long his hiatus is going to be (a month right?) before getting into Gran Colombia?

Grand Fromage posted:I like the Haiti and Colombia choices because I know next to nothing going in. Yeah likewise. Six months ago I knew the names of Simon Bolivar and Toussaint Louverture, but aside from Bolivar being a Colombian revolutionary I probably couldn't have told you anything else. Although I guess thinking back, I didn't know much about the English revolution aside from Cromwell existing and taking over the government. I knew the very basics of the American revolution because as a non-American you just constantly encounter references to it. But even the French revolution I didn't know that much about beyond the obvious parts like the Bastille, Louis's execution, liberte/egalite/fraternite, Robespierre, the Terror and ultimately Napoleon. The Russian revolution is something I've already studied in a lot of depth so I'm not expecting to learn anywhere near as much, but I'm still interested to hear Mike talk about it and analyse it.

FYI... Just ran across a newish podcast called Inward Empire on the Dark Myths collective, I'm really digging it. The first two episodes are on the interaction between the English settlers and Indians in New England. Really well written, insightful, nice pace and presentation.

Thanks a ton for the recommendation! The delivery is a little dry at times for my tastes but overall it's a great podcast. I especially appreciated the host explaining how the massive epidemics following 1492 left behind huge swaths of "widowed land" that lent itself perfectly to the puritans' idea of divine providence. Fascinating stuff.

I love it. Thanks for the recommendation. Can I get a listener report on History on Fire? I heard it recommended at the end of the most recent History of Byzantium episode and I love the guy's accent, but I'm a little wary because he seems associated with Joe Rogan and I have a bit of an aversion to that strain intellectual broism.

The idea of widowed land is especially interesting to me, as where I live in New England, you can see old stone walls all over the place, marking what were once farms and fields, now grown over with forests as those who live there moved west for less rocky soils. Even now, entropy sets in ever and ever, and I'll drive past small dirt paths which are barely distinguishable from their surroundings, paths which will disappear entirely if they continue to be unused and forgotten entirely as well.

It was a hard pass for me because it felt like Deadliest Warrior the Podcast. I don't think I made it through an entire episode, though, but I'm pretty sure it was mentioned a while back so there might be better takes if you feel like digging a little.

It's definitely history in the vein of Hardcore History, just with an Italian accent. I think his Iceman episode might be his best so far. Try that one in full and see if it's for you.

btw I've listened to common sense now. Hmm. Probably not academic enough for my taste. It's like party- or dinner-chat, maybe with a bit more research.

I've devoured every episode and love this podcast; but can someone under the age of 30 help me with the website? I don't see any way to donate or to contact the author about donating - websites made with mobile devices in mind confuse me and I can't find any useful links on either the main Inward Empire site or the Dark Myths parent site.

Looks like the next episode will be released in June, and judging by the teaser illustration, it's right up my alley. e: Heard back... There will be information re: Patreon with the next podcast release. The_Raven fucked around with this message at 11:49 on May 21, 2016 |

Anyone have any good Space podcasts? I listened to star talk and I like NDT as much as any nerd but I got a bit tired of pizza analogies. I'm no scientist but I would like something I can learn from.

VocalizePlayerDeath posted:Anyone have any good Space podcasts? 365 Days of Astronomy started out broadcasting a short episode (usually 5-10 minutes) every day during 2009 because it was the international year of astronomy or something, but it proved so popular that they've done a daily episode ever since. A whole bunch of different people have contributed episodes. There was also a weekly version that removed the common intro and outro for the middle episodes of the week to cut down on run time but I think that stopped in 2011.

There's also the Ohio State University Astronomy 161 and 162 full course lectures that you can listen to. Very informative.

The Naked Scientists have two: Space Boffins, which is a little lighter on the pure science than their other one, Naked Astronomy, which has more news/science/engineering which I prefer. http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/astronomy/

If anyone is looking for show on contemporary politics, I would recommend Keepin' it 1600. It's run by two Obama guys, Jon Favreau and Dan Pfeiffer. It's rather liberal, but they have brought a couple Republicans on. It's definitely some inside baseball and in the end, it's just another couple of politicos making their educated guesses, but I think they have some really insightful comments. I want to reiterate that it's pretty partisan.

Cupp on and they didn't interrupt her or shout her down when she was talking absurd nonsense about political correctness having caused Trump so it's not that bad as far as "liberal bias" goes. The inside baseball on the Obama 2008 campaign and their comparisons to today are very interesting.

I'm glad that Carlin was up front about not recommending Common Sense to his listeners (like me) who just want to hear him talk about history rather than current events. I feel like listening to Common Sense would unfairly lessen my enjoyment of Hardcore History somehow.
