I'm partway through the first episode, but the guy's speaking ability is so terrible that I'm not sure I can go on. He can't go a sentence without mispronouncing a word or re-reading sections. And the tone is obvious that he's just reading rather than speaking naturally. All of which I just don't get. I mean, you are recording a show and editing it. It's not live. Why not do a section at a time without fumbling a sentence and then piece it together? It's very amateur sounding. On the plus side, searching for that show led me to a few others about the Soviet Union, so hopefully one of those pans out better. I'll give it a couple episodes to see if his style clears up, but it is really grating right now.

I'm a few eps in now and while it's exceedingly clear that he does the show in one take, lots of us endured the horrible production issues the history of Rome muddled through so I'm gonna stick it out a bit

The first batch of episodes have the mandatory freshmen podcast audio quality problems, but it's definitely worth enduring through them.

Whoops. Part 7 of Carlson's Reagan series was accidentally updated with part 1. Sometimes I think about dropping My History Can Beat Up Your Politics because of these kind of Bush league mistakes.

I adore chronological historical podcasts (my biggest issue with the History of China, which led me to dropping it, was it's eclectic nature, I need structure!). Looks like a new one just got thrown into the rotation. Still looking for things on all things French, particularly current politics, but history and language development would be great. Extra points if the shows are actually in French.

I like it, but it feels like she has covered crusade against the Cathars in microscopic detail compared to the earlier crusades. It may have been more compelling if covered at a brisker pace. Can't wait for Simon de Montfort to die.

Nemico posted:Is there a consensus on what the best content is on Arthurian stuff? I've listened to some on Myths and Legends but I'd really like way more than what they have. If anyone is interested in this kind of thing, I did find Myths and Legends of Europe to be a good mix of brisk and detailed, without putting very much commentary onto the old values of ancient legends. The host can be kind of dry, but I warmed up to him pretty well and he doesn't waste your time. I listened to the whole series over a month and I think I'm going to give his original series on Greece and Rome a try!

Request from a friend: a current events podcast that does a good job with historical context covering modern conflicts (Ukrane, Syria, Libya, etc). Anyone have any suggestions?

Guest posted:Does anybody have any recommendations for good podcasts on Indian history/culture/religion? There is one called The History of India by Kit Patrick. I have listened to it a little bit, it's not bad. It covers ancient "India" , he starts around 600BC and is up to like 300BC, and I don't think he has plans to exit Ancient India. Unfortunately I find this part of Indian history boring as gently caress, and would be more interested in Mughal dynasty onward, but I haven't had any luck finding podcasts that cover that.

mike12345 posted:oh please post. my french needs practice anyway. There's 46 episodes at this point, at 8 minutes each, and they seem to be embedded in the larger La Fabrique d'histoire podcast by France Culture. This is the link for the Cold War episodes themselves. The larger podcast is history related and has a different program depending on the day, the Cold War stuff is a Monday exclusive. I haven't heard it yet, but France Culture, and France Radio by extension, is pretty top-notch if dry.

I think I listened to that show years ago, but it was too dry for my taste. The episode was about medieval farmers lives, and they interviewed a historian. Good info, but not super entertaining. I'll give it another try.

I've been enjoying the hell out of this, so thanks for mentioning it! Also maaan, maybe I should give the Neo Bonapartes another shot because they've apparently just finished a series on the Elamites, and that's just awesome.

I realized while listening to Dan Carlin's latest Persian Wars episode that I am really sick of him. I think it was the part where he compared the Persian army to "Clint Eastwood, but in a Batman role!" that I was just like gently caress this

It was basically a long screed about how you shouldn't discount third parties because of history, and how we're basically hosed if we don't address the same problems Carlin always wants addressed. Definitely Carlin as gently caress but not quite as nuts as the description makes it sound. Given the state of the third parties right now, that section falls on deaf ears real easy, but the history he brings up is interesting at least.

I think I said it before but about half the time he is really spot on and expresses what I was already thinking but better. Maybe another quarter I disagree, but he brings up points but I can see the perspective he is coming from. The rest of the time he is coming from crazy land But this one is peak Carlin. His main point is that we are so starved for a reform period and things are so screwed up that the medicine will be really harsh. He has no love for Trump but seems to think that maybe just maybe he will be so bad that it will trigger this much needed reform, just like the excesses of Nixon and the Vietnam era led to the Church commission and other reforms. If Trump is elected I hope he's right, but it is more like the Susan Sarandan argument back in 2000 that if we elect Bush he will be so bad it will trigger a revolution. Instead we got 2 bungled wars, a tax cut for the rich that squandered the surplus and an economic crash. Carlin sounds like a Bernie bro Jill Stein or bust. The other fallisy is that the 3rd parties we have represent an improvement over the big 2 or even if one came along that was better it would stay better once it got into power.

An independently running Republican no one has ever heard of with no experience in elected office is running in the high 20s in Utah while Johnson and Stein are both in single digits. Third parties, especially Johnson and Stein, are useless.

Finished Inward Empire's Sword of the Wilderness pt. 2 yesterday. The quality of the writing is really impressive at times, who is this guy? Recommend. Also liking History on Fire's series on Caravaggio, worth checking out if you like the idea of a renaissance art gangster.
