I was 20 or 30 mins in before putting it down. I realize he's setting the stage and the like, but man he takes his time. I'll pick it up again later. In the meantime I've been listening to some Inward Empire, which is loving fantastic.

Like others have said it picks up later and is pretty good. Not one of his best, but I'm not picky when it comes to Hardcore History. The Pinkerton episode of Inward Episode is so good. Bummed that it'll probably be 2019 when we get part two.

Latest lawfare is the audio of a conference/round table about a new book. I want more of this, more audio recordings of lectures, conferences, etc. Any recommendations for a podcast feed that collects and distributes these?

Thank you Thomas Middleditch, now I have template to make a boxing quote. Now I want you to imagine what it would be like to be to go into the ring and, this is from NBC's airing of, Jim Gray's interview with, Mike Tyson right after his massacre of Lou Savarese, this from Mike Tyson himself. Now I want you imagine going into the ring against an opponent who has threatened to rip your heart out, and keep in mind this is stupidly exaggerated because no man has that ability, so even him just KO-ing everyone of his opponents, what that must be like, the devastation. He says and I quote: “I’m the best ever. I’m the most brutal, vicious, and most ruthless champion there’s ever been. There’s no one can stop me. Lennox (Lewis) is a conqueror? No. I’m Alexander. He’s no Alexander. I’m the best ever. There’s never been anybody as ruthless. I’m Sonny Liston. I’m Jack Dempsey. There’s no one like me. I’m from their cloth. There’s no one that can match me. My style is impetuous. My defense is impregnable. And I’m just ferocious. I want your heart. I want to eat his children. Praise be to Allah.”

Any recommendations for podcasts covering the War of 1812 or the French & Indian War? I don't need something only about these, I'd be happy with something like Revolutions that treats one in depth over a few episodes.

Honestly if you're looking to understand the social/political lead up and aftermath to the War of 1812, you could do a lot worse than Revolutions. Not sure about blow by blow milhist stuff, though.

Does anyone listen to the Moral Maze (which like In Our Time is just a podcast of the Radio 4 program)? I find it's a bit hit or miss, but every now and then you get a really good episode where all the witnesses drive the hosts mad and the hosts themselves tear each other apart in the sum-up section (or where you end up agreeing with a witness you thought you'd hate, but that's less "fun"). The latest one where Giles Fraser all but calls out half the hosts for anti-semitism for daring to discuss banning circumcision is particularly vitriolic.

Is this the right thread to discuss the Stitcher produced Heavens Gate podcast? I haven't finished it yet but to be honest I'm feeling kind of meh about it and I'm not sure why. I think it feels a bit hollow despite all the testimonies and I don't get any sense of what life was really like in there. I recently listened to The Last Podcast On The Left series on Jim Jones and that was a lot more compelling to me.

I recently listened to The Last Podcast On The Left series on Jim Jones and that was a lot more compelling to me. I agree. Especially since the final episode doesn't really tie anything together in a way different than reading the Wikipedia article. I feel like they got really high on the host's real-life cult experience as a kid, and didn't quite have a full series plotted out before they began. It just kinda peters out.

I listened to "objectification of women", but the format is a bit too short. Like, everyone got to state his/her point of view, and then the show ended. BBC really should go the podcast route with some shows, two hours of this could be really productive.

This podcast seems solid https://soundcloud.com/workingclasshistory/ Some interesting episodes Right now I'm really enjoying Inward Empire. In a weird lowkey dark horse way I think it might be my favorite historical podcast in terms of lacking some of the weaknesses of some of his peers but retaining their strengths, it's not too dry, but it's also not dadtainment, and politically it's on point. The last Pinkerton episode was fascinating and chilling and I look forward to the next part.

I've listened now I think to all the episodes and the quality is generally high, though I found the topics boring in a couple. The Pinkteron episode, and the 2 parter about strikes are my favorites.

Yeah I've was blown away by his first episode, the sword of the wilderness. He's managed to knock it out of the park with every episode so far, and he focuses on the era in American history I find the most interesting. It was the first podcast I ever gave money to and I'll continue to proselytize about it until the day I die. It's just too bad it takes months to get an episode out. Unrelated but inward empire is my favorite history podcast, when diplomacy fails takes the Cake by most improved. If you've only listened to the old episodes I'd recommend anyone here give a listen to one of the newer ones. Zach goes into so much more depth on the diplomatic front then any other podcast I've ever seen. Using primary sources and scholarly research as opposed to popular history books and his diplomacy focus gives his podcast a feel that no others have managed to capture.

Anyone know if there are any podcasts that cover interesting topics in prehistory? The Cambrian explosion, a timeline of dinosaur life, early man's evolution and survival. Anything along those lines, really. A sort of History of Rome kind of look at any of the major eras of life on the planet. Everything I'm finding is more of a biological view of things than an historical look. While breaking down dinosaurs species by species is great, too, I'd love something more overarching and timeline-based.

Ehhh what do you mean by "dinosaurs from a history standpoint"? It kinda sounds like what you want is a historical novel sort of thing set in dinosaur times. You might check out the Archaeology Podcast Network at https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/ to see if one of their various podcast series does what you want, especially for early man sort of stuff. And specifically https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/archyfantasies/ on there delves into a lot of prehistoric topics as part of investigating things like claims of powerful ancient races before historic humanity and so on.

It's not a podcast, but The Ancestor's Tale audiobook sounds like it'd be right up your alley. People rightfully hack on Dawkins for being a gratingly smug dickhole about religion, but his actual pop sci writing is absolutely fantastic and Ancestor's Tale is his best in a long time. The general idea is that if you start from any extant species and walk back down the phylogeny to the beginning of life, what happens is that you meet progressively more distantly related groups of organisms at each bifurcation. He uses that device to "walk back" through time and talk about what our ancestors, and our world, would be like at that time. On the way it taps into some overarching conceptual stuff about how evolutionary biology works that he explains quite well. If you just think Dawkins is too much of a dick to have your money, you can get it free with an Audible trial or something. e: fuckin  somebody put the whole drat thing on Youtube. I'd forgotten that it's co-read by him and some lady.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tafbh84dVO0 FWIW the audiobook is only about half, or maybe even a third, of the content of the print book. The whole thing is worth a read if you're into this stuff. Trig Discipline fucked around with this message at 20:08 on Mar 13, 2018 |

SurgicalOntologist posted:Dawkins is a dick but I very much enjoyed that book. Right? A lot of his pop sci stuff is really good. By the standards of the popular press you'd think that Dawkins was famous because he's a great research biologist, but that's largely not true; he hasn't done any significant research in decades. The books that made him famous (The Selfish Gene, The Extended Phenotype, etc.) were almost entirely him explaining other people's work, not anything he'd actually done himself. For whatever other issues he may have, deep-dive pop sci is something he's actually really good at.
