Prophets of Doom was absolutely amazing. I remember watching this when I was young: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106051. I have no idea if there is a subtitles version around, probably not. I started listening to the new episode and it has been great so far (~1 hour in).

I finally finished the episode and god drat it was amazing. I'm from Germany and all we cover is the War of Independence, the Civil War, WW1+2 (but those from our perspective) and the Cold War. I'm really glad Carlin covers some of the stuff that was ignored. I think I'll buy the 30$ Hardcore History classics bundle for my father for his birthday. He will love it and I really want to listen to the paywall episodes  .

Drunkboxer posted:You know I like Jeff Rubin alright but if I have to hear him say Lost is one of the best shows of all time I'm going to crawl into my earbuds and punch him. Also Orange is the New Black is not "at the same tier" as Boardwalk Empire I got mad at the Boardwalk Empire comment too. That show is insanely good, people just ignore it for some reason. I just got into The Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin show two weeks ago but I love it. He has amazing guests. I just listened to the episode with the Facebook designer and it was just super interesting.

If you want bulletpoints you should read the Wikipedia article. Carlin really tries to make the events relatable and that can take him on some weird (but effective) tangents. I loved then he used Bill Cosby's family as an exampple when he talked about Ghengis Khan.

Yeah that guy was weird. And he refused to answer questions a few times too, he just said "Buy the book, $20". The episode with the romance novel lady was great though.

quote:I've been working on the next HH episode, and it is going to have a rather horrible rhythm to it (yes...on shows that are as long as ours, a rhythm, pacing and the rise and fall of tension and drama are all things we have to design into the narrative). Stop teasing and just release the next part Dan! Also: The last Common Sense was...something. I really didn't expect to hear that much about Dan's father.

I find them funny too but I also think that they are fitting too. Also: I really want an episode about the amazing arctic expeditions now. Especially the Shackleton expedition he mentioned in this episode. That is such an amazing story.

RagingBoner posted:I'm not an emotional guy by any means, and it made me cry. Some moving stuff in there. Yep, amazing episode. He found a ton of great quotes and his delivery is just perfect. I haven't hear the Fitzgerald quote before and Churchill's description of the battlefield was new to me too. The time Dan needs to do the research for this show really pays off. I don't even care about naval battles but I absolutely loved his description of the battle of Jütland. Can't wait for the next episode!

And he used to take LSD with Albert Hoffmann. He is such a fascinating character. Just look at all the crazy poo poo on his Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_J%C3%BCnger He joined the Foreign Legion BEFORE the war started and then he lived until 1998  .

Risket posted:How is that being a crazy person? If it was my son I'd be the same way, but his point was that that would be a lovely policy to have as a country, in response to the people who use that argument. He just sounds like some of the batshit crazy talk radio guys. It's really not what he is saying but how he is saying it, I guess his radio background comes out more in Common Sense. Anyway, I really like it. I don't always agree with him but he brings up really interesting points and he often has perspectives I hadn't considered before.

gradenko_2000 posted:An alternative approach I read about with regards to teaching history was to abandon the idea of starting from 3000 BC in the first place. A student arguably is not going to care about the Ancient Egyptians unless you really make a concerted effort to make it interesting, but you might have better traction with starting in the now and tracing it back to how things got that way. That sounds a bit like what Dan Carlin said in one of his common sense podcasts about history education and I think he is right. Context is really important, just learning facts for a test doesn't do poo poo.

Damo posted:nthing Ghosts of the Ostfront. If you only listen to one Hardcore History, make it that one. Although you won't just listen to one because Hardcore History owns bones. (Get it? Bones? That's my little depressing joke referencing the opening of Ghosts of the Ostfront). That opening is so well done and I really can't think of a better way to get the listeners into the right mindset for what is coming in the next ~7 hours.

By the way, I REALLY like how Carlin handles the money stuff. It seems like he gets most of his income from donations/ads but he never begs for it and the ads are never annoying. I actually bought some of his older series (ghosts of the ostfront and punic nightmares) twice because my father also wanted to listen to them. I could have given him my MP3s but I think Dan really deserves to get the extra dollars.

I don't know why but I think it is really funny that you can pay with bitcoin in Dan's shop. Also I just bought Thor's angels because I want to listen to it again. I just finished Death Throes of the Republic again and I was just amazed how much more I got out of it this time. I think I want to know more about the late republic/early empire. Are there any books you would recommend?

Mojo Threepwood posted:I finished History of Rome and it was one of my favorite podcast series of all time, thanks to this thread for the suggestion. That time period was blank for me so I learned a ton, and appreciated the host's careful fact checking and corrections. Now listen to Dan Carlin's podcasts about Rome! They are called "Death throes of the republic" (Gracchi brothers to Augustus), "Punic Nightmares" (Punic wars) and "Thor's Angels" (end of the western empire).

So apparently the Death Troes of the Republic podcast was planned as a short podcast about Cleopatra.
