History of Japan by Isaac Meyer is the big one. I wish he did more ancient Japan but he jumps around on all kinds of subjects.

I got lost when he took his drug addiction analogy about conquering territory way too far even for Dan.

I’ve always been really interested in the period after the fall of Rome to the tenth century, but it’s hard to find good stuff outside of Wikipedia. The History of Byzantium has covered the Eastern Roman Empire from the 6th to 11th centuries and touches on a lot of the big picture European stuff in its "end of the century" episodes. The episodes on the rise of Islam are particularly interesting, though I have to say that I don't like the host's Carlin impression when he did a 2 and 1/2 hour long episode on Heraclius. The British History Podcast has been going through dark ages England in what some might call excruciating detail, though as the name suggests it's strongly focused on Anglo-Saxon England and only occasionally touches on the goings-on on the continent. Also, the Roman Britain stuff is extremely rough and skippable if you know the era well.

I can't believe I'm finally caught up on Revolutions. I've been listening to it while driving around and mowing my lawn for over a year. Now I have to wait for the slow drip-drip of weekly content with the rest of you swine.

History of Philosophy is amazing, but you can't skip straight into the Islamic episodes unless you already have a general understanding of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, and probably also some of the neoplatonics. Everyone up to and including Avicenna draw so much from the classics that you need to background to really understand it. But if you can understand Avicenna, you can understand the rest of the Islamic episodes just fine.

I must have forgotten that Dan had a book coming out https://twitter.com/BridgetPhetasy/status/1176264041045512192 Also the blurb starts out with Dan_Carlin.txt quote:The creator of the wildly popular award-winning podcast Hardcore History looks at some of the apocalyptic moments from the past as a way to frame the challenges of the future.

I remember Mike Duncan talking about one of his books being released in audio format, and said something to the effect of, "of course I'm going to record it myself. Writing things and reading them to you guys is my job" so yeah

From what I recall he's leaving it open ended and it'll be as many episodes as it needs to be. It isn't the last one because he was talking about Revolutions wrapping up in 2022, and I don't think the Russian Revolution is going to last that long.

I'm pretty sure he's going up to at least Cuba and possibly Iran. Cuba makes sense as the finale given the themes that have emerged throughout the podcast. Iran comes out of a different revolutionary tradition than the ideas that were rattling back and forth across the Atlantic.

I think he said he's not doing China or other Asian revolutions because he doesn't think he knows the history nearly well enough to make an attempt, which is fair enough. I dunno if he's including Iran or specifically thinking East/Southeast Asia. Cuba seems possible for sure.

I saw an interview from 2015 where he said he'd probably do Iran, but IIRC he's said anything more recent than that is more history than current events (and he may have included that revolution as current events at the time), so it'll be the last one if he does it. I hope he does Cuba too.

I can't imagine we won't get a quick shot at the Spartacists, if not the entire German Revolution. Might wind up as a side episode or two of the Russia series but you could lump in Hungary and Bavaria as well and go full red scare.

It was kind of weird how the audio quality of Duncan's reading of The Storm before the Storm seemed way lower than on his normal podcast. I know he probably just had to go somewhere to read it, but it seems like a studio could put out something on par with a guy just recording on his own. Maybe it's just a different kind of standard for audio books.

The last chapter of Revolutions will be "The American Revolution, 2019" and it will just be Mike issuing a call to arms and rallying the people to take the streets and abolish private property and inheritance.

Maybe it's just a different kind of standard for audio books. I'm not sure which particular audiobook service/app you might have been using, but most of the big ones will default to delivering a rather low-bitrate audio file to your listening device. And that often means that by default you'll get audio quality that's worse than many podcasts use. Usually, you can set an option to get the larger files that don't mash down the audio quality.
