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.

I started listening to Hardcore History after finishing History of Rome and am almost through the free iTunes episodes, which means I'll soon (and gladly) enter paywall territory. Should I just start from the beginning? Cherry pick? Are there any episodes I should avoid?

I both love and hate the buildup Dan does for a person/place/thing in HH - especially people. I can't stand when he goes on and on about the person's intro to the narrative (e.g. Caesar, Genghis Khan) while being coy about saying the name and I'm like "Just say it. Just loving say it. We all know who you're talking about." But when the podcast is over I look forward to hearing how he'll do it for the next person and get a stupid grin on my face each time he launches into it.

What? To each their own, but I find Mike's dry humor to be a lot funnier. Also his Koufax : Aurelian analogy was perfect.

Can we get him to interview Greenwald or vice-versa? Imagine how many hours of content would be created

I could have sworn I heard him interview Greenwald on his show a couple years ago, but a quick search turns up nothing.

Yeah the episode "covers" have always looked like outsourced fanart.

Maybe it's just been a while since I've listened to a Hardcore History, but I'm about halfway through the latest episode and feel like what I've heard could easily be cut in half. Dan is talking in circles so many times and I just want him to get on with it.
