urk the quack posted:Badass. I've tried for years to appreciate Roman history, and for some reason History of Rome finally made it click well for me. Have you tried Dan Carlin's Hardcore History subseries, Death Throes of the Republic? ~10 hours in all, fascinating stuff. He approaches the entire thing from the angle of what motivated the movers and shakers to do what they did.

DrVenkman posted:History of Rome is a good one if you don't like what Carlin is doing. The episodes don't usually run longer than 20 minutes and as the title suggests it covers everything. History of Rome guy's new podcast has just dropped: revolutionspodcast.com

After blueprint part 1 I was so excited I read one of his sources, "A World Undone," while waiting for episode 2. very good book, in case you want some additional material.

Death Throes 6 was 5.5-6 hours long if I remember correctly.

gradenko_2000 posted:Pritzker Military Library Podcast This really is fantastic, especially the Medal of Honor series - it has Medal of Honor recipients telling the stories of how they earned their medals. I've listened to a good 30-40, eventually I'll do the entire archive.

Conrad_Birdie posted:"You Must Remember This" is killing it (pun not intended) with their extended Charles Manson series. I was initially not interested in it at all, feeling like Manson is well-trodden ground, but yesterday I decided to give it a listen anyways and now I am almost caught up. It's absolutely riveting stuff, really placing the emphasis less on Manson himself and how the culture of Hollywood at the time informed the murders. It's also really digging into these supporting and tangential names associated with the murders and building this giant patchwork tapestry of connections between episodes, slowly building the complete story. She is developing SUCH a vivid picture of Hollywood at the time. I can't recommend it enough. The Dennis Wilson episode floored me. I have listened to the first 44 episodes of this show in the last 5 days. It is FANTASTIC. I listen to tons of podcasts and this is one of the best. I'm on the second Manson episode and I'm already sad I'm catching up to current. Fate Accomplice fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Jul 6, 2015 |

adebisi lives posted:What race of people is Sam Harris racist against? I'm not a huge fan of the guy and he's said plenty of dumb stuff but if you're going to criticize him or Dan Carlin for doing a podcast with him you should at least give a more nuanced criticism than that. I haven't listened to the podcast yet but I'm assuming Carlin isn't going to jump into the new atheist bandwagon with Harris. Besides, if you've listened to enough of the common sense podcasts you'd know Carlin has a huge man crush on Glenn Greenwald, one of Harris' arch twitter enemies. If you listen to a little bit of Sam Harris you'll think he's vehemently anti-Islam. If you listen to more of him you'll realize he's vehemently anti-Abrahamic religion in its entirety.

Al-Saqr posted:The problem here isn't dan carlin, the problem is that Sam Harris is a completely stupid racist piece of poo poo who tries to constantly sugarcoat his fake-intellectualist arguments. Sam Harris isn't stupid or racist. He simply believes that Abrahamic religion is a gigantic net negative for humanity.

In the latest Common Sense, Dan says he's not going to adhere to schedules or timelines anymore with either of his shows. He says context switching between them is causing big delays, so maybe this new focus will get us more Dan faster.

Parakeet vs. Phone posted:Use smart speed settings to embrace the darkness and squeeze extra podcast minutes into your day! Look occasionally at the hours saved and be amazed and horrifed by how many hours of podcasts you listen to. I am getting close to 2000 hours of time saved by smart speed alone. It’s taken me since the day overcast came out in 2014 to get here.

I’ve maxed out overcast’s speed settings each time as soon as Marco raises the max, but the notch past 3x was too much for me with smart speed on, I’m not surprised it only lasted a couple versions.

I thought it's Calm your mind, but there's one by that name and it looks kinda weird. on Evans' other show, Worst Year Ever, there was an ad for a podcast named "Stay Calm," is that what you mean?
