I mean, if you think about it, right, Muhammad Ali is sort of the Wehrmacht on the eve of World War 1, while others, your Conor Macgregor types, would be the army of Alexander the Great, uhm, in that situation. But let's think about that for a second. If aliens came down to earth and saw this, sort of, Napoleon's Grand Armee type thing, fighting bare knuckled against Rocky Marciano, the Mongol horde I guess you could call it, what would they say?

Jack B Nimble posted:Someone mail Dan a copy of unforgivable blackness. The History on Fire podcast recently finished a series on Jack Johnson... as someone that knew nothing about the guy or boxing in that era, I found it pretty interesting, worth a listen. The presenter is a friend of Dan Carlin, and in one of the episodes shares Carlin's favourite anecdote about Johnson, so I reckon Dan already has a copy.

If Dan Carlin is wrong, he's wrong to within a certain acceptable degree of wrongness, given our at best fuzzy view of the past. In other words, he's not so wrong that he's completely without insight, and I think he does a better job than most historians at trying not to imagine that people of the ancient world thought like us.

There's a wonderful quote in the Confession's about his friend going to an arena match initially disgusted, before falling victim to the bloodlust in the air and cheering as men are viciously wounded and killed, only for him to reflect after the fight with horror at how he'd lost control of himself.

If you haven’t already caught it, Slow Burn about Watergate/Nixon’s fall is excellent. Equal parts terrifying and gratifying. It’s only 8 episodes (9 if you include a bonus episode) and just finished this week so you can binge the whole thing. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/slow-burn-a-podcast-about-watergate/id1315040130?mt=2

I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but are there some good 20ish minute run downs of the news? My sister is looking for something around that length that will give her an idea of what's going on in the US and also in the world.

Is BBC world news not good? Or too long? I think each episode is only thirty minutes and they hit the headlines in the first minute. It's what I use to make sure I'm not so deep in audio books or long form journalism that I don't know someone has died.

I powered through because I was redoing my bathroom and didn't want to pull out my phone and get it covered with drywall dust (and couldn't wash my hands because there's no sink in there currently) and it got a bit better. But the content to verbiage ratio is low even for Dan. It took hours to learn that painful executions used to be religious, then they stopped being religious, and the mood of the crowd changed.

Carlin almost got Hardcore History bingo in the first hour - repeating himself - "you can imagine..." - "put yourself in their shoes..." - "the SMELLS" - <45 seconds of silence in the middle of a thought> He just needed "<type of person> from our time would have been completely normal in this"
