I started listening to Hardcore History recently and am absolutely loving it. But is there a place to get the backlog bundled for less than what iTunes is charging? I'm gonna end up buying all this stuff regardless but if I can save a few bucks and/or get it all at once instead of piecemeal that would be great.

Firstscion posted:Defiantly he is a little shaky at the start but it's worth it. It took me about 2 months to make it through all 190 episodes but when I finished I just wanted more. Well I like Revolutions so I guess I've got something else to listen to while I wait for the next episode of that and hardcore history.

thrawn527 posted:So I finally bit the bullet and bought the HH Episodes 1-39 pack. What the hell, it costs roughly the same price as a video game these days, and I'll get way more out of it. And I was dying for more content, having gone through all of the free stuff over the past several months. I started with the Death Throes of the Republic episodes, because it's one of my favorite eras of history. But I glanced at the first episode and it's like 16 minutes? Keep in mind, this is not a complaint, but I'm curious. When does he start getting into the operatic length episodes? Punic Nightmares: 3 hours, 51 minutes Ghosts of the Ostfront: 5 hours, 42 minutes Death Throes of the Republic: 12 hours, 49 minutes Wrath of the Khans: 8 hours, 27 minutes Blueprint for Armageddon: 17 hours, 51 minutes and counting. His content (minus the finale of Death Throes) has been pretty reasonable up until Blueprint where he's gone completely off the deep end in regards to running length and boxing analogies.

midnightclimax posted:Anyone know something about http://thehistoryofbyzantium.com/ podcast? I've read mixed reviews, not sure if I should bother downloading the first episode. It's OK, it takes him awhile to hit his stride so you probably won't like the first few at the very least.

The 10 american presidents isn't badly done it's just not produced in the way most podcasts are; a dude in a room talking into a mic. The soundclips didn't bug me since they were mostly just speeches/clips from interviews and for a modern figure why quote him when you can just put the audio clip of him talking right in the thing. The music was annoying though. e: Also the timeframe on this thing is insane. The Q&A episode mentioned the next episode coming out in late May and the Q&A went up April 4.

Risket posted:I really like the format of Carlin's episode, but I'm wondering why Carlin's episode on Nixon is well over an hour, and Mike Duncan's Washington episode is 16 minutes long. I mean, it's loving Washington, you could do 55 hours on that guy and not be done. Maybe they left the format up to the speaker, and Carlin isn't capable of doing a history podcast that is less than 2 hours. If you listen to that episode it's a 5 minute preview of the episode and then the producer cuts in and does an interview with Mike Duncan and then says the full episode will be up in late March. (2016?) Gibfender posted:They might as well just put up the episode of the Dollop for him, I can't imagine anyone else topping that Also replace the Washington episode with the episode about Washington's horror mouth filled with clockwork gadgets and dead men's teeth.

TheFallenEvincar posted:not sure Mike totally got the hang of these sound effects/soundtrack/voice clip stuff on the American Presidents ep, some of it is kind of distracting or boring or lowered quality. Like I swear at some point it feels like he just plays a generic repeated musketshot effect for like two minutes and it's like okay I get it, is this an intermission? I had the impression the producer did the audio clips, Mike just recorded the voice over.

TheFallenEvincar posted:Ah well whoever it was, it felt kinda shoddy at parts. Just random distracting sound effects for long stretches, while some voice clips were high quality and then suddenly you'd have one that sounds like they just got a random dude with a lovely mic to read something. It felt oddly raw/incomplete. But yeah, Mike's actual content was great. The random gunshot intermissions have nothing on getting some dude to just read the whole Declaration of Independence for no reason.

TheFallenEvincar posted:I just don't think it was done as well for Duncan's ep as it was with Carlin's. There's just long inexplicable musketshot interludes, distracting effects, certain speech clips that just randomly sound like a dude with a lovely mic, deciding to do the whole Declaration, etc. For me part of it was the Nixon episode it was actually Nixon speaking. It was neat to hear clips from the man himself, his own words while Dan was walking through the story. In the Washington episode at first I thought they were taking it from movies or something but then I realized that A: No way they can afford licensing audio from a movie and B: no movie would have someone so incredibly flat and boring read the declaration of independence in its entirety.

Mojo Threepwood posted:I really enjoyed Mike's coverage of the French Revolution, although I was hoping for the series to continue through Napoleon's career (I totally understand how that would have been out of scope and tripled the size of the series, but still.) I listened to the audio book back when he started France and is fantastic, highly recommend it.

How are u posted:Uh... somehow my subscription to the Revolutions podcast got messed up in my Apple podcasts app, and it seems to have...merged? with another podcast called Juicing Radio, which looks to be all about juice cleanses. I've had podcast icons get lost/change. Please report back on your new-found juicing lifestyle. webmeister posted:I've never had it mix up two different podcasts, but I've definitely had it lose track of episode listings before. So a weekly show will suddenly get the last 6 months showing up on a single day as unlistened, and of course it'll helpfully download them all for you - hope you weren't near your data cap! This has happened twice to me on two different podcasts Reboot your phone.
