Carlin is going to be on Rogan's podcast tomorrow. Hopefully it's a good one.

It was a good episode, best episode is still the one about the Anabaptists taking over a town.

Just relistened to that after seeing


It's the cages Carlin started and ended the story about. They are still there.

Crusades maybe? I want to say he has mentioned that a few times

Reminds me I still never finished his last episode. I should get around to that.

I'd say the Last Podcast on the Left stuff on cults is pretty solid, even if you're not a fan of their other series. I think cults freak Henry out a little so he's usually more serious. He was a bit goofy (and still doing a little bit of his Asian accent) during the start of Aum Shinrikyo but calms down quick once poo poo starts getting real.

They tend to have a neat perspective, because they try to focus on the "fun" early days of the cult to help you understand how people get pulled into it in the first place. It paints a nice complete picture.

I also would recommend LPOTL. They did a fantastic 5 part series on Jonestown. They also covered Aum Shinrikyo as mentioned above, Children of God, Manson (my personal favorite), and Sciencetology (focusing most on Hubbard).

They also did shorter episodes on Heaven's Gate, Waco and NXIVM.

Their style is not for everyone. It's not a 100% serious podcast that just runs through facts in list order. They try to tell a story, make jokes, and really point out how stupid/hosed up people are. For example, in their Manson trilogy they remind and stress it enough to Manson was an idiot criminal who just loved dune buggies and didn't have any 'power' to turn people.

Just wanted to second this recommendation, although it's (obviously) not a podcast. It's really well scripted and produced and easy to follow, though admittedly I haven't watched all of it. I was following along at various points over the past couple of years though - hard to believe they've actually stuck with it the entire time!

Great War series is an amazing achievement. One day I will get around to watching every episode!

Not only did they stick with it they also just started WWII 2 months ago!

I feel the same way about Our Fake History when he does things that are clearly bullshit. Like I don't mind when they're just about mythology like the Arthurian legends, but WHO BUILT THE PYRAMIDS is some seriously History Channel level of nonsense.

And it took him 3 episodes to explain it and frankly didn't really explain it that well I think.

I love granular detail but military history (especially modern military history) bores the hell out of me, and that seems to be HH's bread and butter.

On the other end of the spectrum, I've been binging the BBC's History Extra. Episodes are 30-60 minutes, heavily weighted toward European history, but good quality and a huge back catalog. Next up I think I'm going to try the new show from Historic Royal Palaces in the UK.

Thanks for this one. Looking at the catalog of episodes I'm finding a good amount of interesting ones for me.

Another BBC podcast series is In Our Time. It covers history, science, culture, religion and philosophy. It's one host and usually 3 people in the field of the topic having a conversation. Episodes are 1hour long.

I listen to most podcasts at about 1.7x speed but about once a year I suddenly can't retain any information that way and have to go back to like 1.2x and work my way back up.


Thanks for this recommendation; I'm finishing the final episode tomorrow. It's a really good podcast that's dovetailing nicely into The Fault Line but without a ton of overlap (since Fault Line was more UK-focused). I'm fairly familiar with the subject matter but I didn't know a lot about Ahmed Chalabi outside of "he told us what we wanted to hear then Iraqis didn't actually give a poo poo about him" so this has really filled in that big gap.

I don't *love* the random pop culture clips (I'm fine with hosts having fun; they just feel out of the place here) but that's such a minor quibble and it's not like we get a 30 minute Carlin monologue about Batman and Wolverine every time.

I'm just finishing up The Fault Line and really enjoyed it so far. Having a British perspective and view point on how they got sucked into all is awesome. I've read few of the books on the war (The Gamble, Fiasco, Life in the Emerald City) but they don't focus that heavily on the British view from what I recall.

I also finished the Fiasco Bush v Gore series and only being a teenager I had no idea how much the cases and challenges went through. I thought it was just a straight shot to the SCOTUS and that was it. Listening to some of the reasons why Gore's people didn't push/try as hard as they could or Bush's team playing toward the media/public really encapsulates the modern ways both parties try stuff.

Floodlines is my next listen to and I barely recall or remember of Katarina. Need to find a new series to binge after that.

Has Carlin ever said anything about changing format or anything at all?
Not going to get my hopes up that he ever does. Betting he is stuck in his ways and his current way still works plenty fine to continue.

edit:vvv yea excluding those cause blitz to him is still 4 hours

Infamous America is pretty fun if a little different from what you're asking for; it focuses on true crime-type stories from US History (the Black Sox, Bonnie and Clyde, Leopold and Loeb, currently the Miami Drug War) in a pretty straightforward narrative.

Just started listening to the first episode on Salem and so far I like it. Think I will make it my next podcast to catch up on all episode. And most of the topics are a interest.

Appoda posted:

His podcasting style is also like he's always stretching for time. Between the intro, his second intro, the ads, his slow and deliberate delivery method, and the patreon shill, there's like 15-20 minutes of podcast in every episode.

Agree with that. I stopped listening a while ago cause I noticed I'm like 15 minutes into the episode and he still hasn't even started the actual story yet. I occasionally still grab some here and there if the topic is very interesting to me (This newest one on the Ark has always been an interesting topic). It is still a worth while podcast to listen to

Can I recommend history youtube channels here? My favorite old Dan Carlin podcasts were the Mongol series and I recently found this History Dose channel that has a similar vibe. It's two guys: one historian and one artist. The historian writes the scripts and the artist provides custom illustrations.

Here's the unofficial Mongol invasion series:

They've also got videos on Vikings, Romans, Native Americans, and Caribbean Pirates. Really good production values.

Big thanks for posting this channel. Already watched about 5 of them and they are fantastic.
