I haven't listened to it myself, but Carlin also has a series on hardcore history called ghosts on the ostfront.

Regarding the bone fields, Carlin describes it more as something that's "said" to be in russia, and immediately follows that statement with a skeptical "A part of me feels If it were real, we probably would have heard more about it.", then he quotes from the aforementioned book. If nothing else, it's at least not presented as 100% historical fact, even if he says he sees the author as reliable.fatherboxx posted:I live in ex-Stalingrad and a whole lot of bones sticking out of earth would have been the most metal thing for kids to explore, sadly all we got is digging for rusty pieces of iron. My only memory from a school trip around the "brotherly graves" sites is the unholy stench of the nearby bird factory. The nearest major city is volgograd, but the actual mystery bone pile is supposed to be "in the middle of nowhere", somewhere on the steppes as there's described to be empty plains for "miles" around them. Yes, I have no self control and I bought Ghosts since my last post about it. ;( Bohemian Nights fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Jan 23, 2015 |

Yeah, boxing analogies aside, this has definitely been my favorite set of hardcore history episodes, and this last one wraps it up nicely, if that's even possible considering the theme.

Echo Chamber posted:"I should be a web comic artist!" A friend of a friend said this, unironically, and then quit his job to dedicate himself to writing and illustrating the shittiest penny arcade copy the internet has seen. Eventually, through the power of unemployment and zero donation income, he was unable to pay for his share of the co-rented apartment and had to move back home with his mom. Dude is closer to 30 than 20. Welp that's my story

Because so many people here like Dan Carlin, you may appreciate this conversation/discussion re: american foreign policy, interventionism and the war on terror with Sam Harris https://soundcloud.com/samharrisorg/shouldering-the-burden-of-history-with-dan-carlin

I thought it was a good conversation that touched on some interesting points, and while I don't really find that description of Sam Harris to be accurate beyond the standard un-nuanced hyperbole you get every time his name is brought up, this probably isn't the thread for an in-depth discussion on Harris' political viewpoints.

jng2058 posted:And of course there are some alternate history shows, like "Ancient Rome Refocused" and "The Twilight Histories" that come at history from odd angles. I've listened to a few episodes of The Twilight Histories now and I'm hooked! I started off with the Hannibal 1 episode, moved on to City of Pyramids and just finished Cleopatra Ceasar. I'm definitely down for spending 5bux and downloading the entire archive- are any of the episodes especially worth listening to?

Guy Goodbody posted:Not to distract from that, but a dude fed a predictive text interface a bunch of Hardcore History transcripts and did a dramatic reading of what it spat out. "There’s another famous incident where Lenin said, quote, “Everything is happening and it’s so horrible and greasy and I often think about how many things are happening right now in history.” End quote." this is really, really good

ColonelJohnMatrix posted:This is my favorite episode of HH since Ghosts of the Ostfront. Ancient history isn't as interesting to me as modern stuff and I've been fascinated by the cold war ever since learning about the Cuban Missile Crisis so this really is the topic I've been wanting him to cover forever. And thermonuclear war is more relevant now than it's been in a while, to boot! I've listened to about three hours of it so far, and it's pretty good.

I like war nerd though I find its often a little soft on issues like russian intervention and imperialism in contrast to the treatment of western power's equivalent. That said, Brecher's stuff is often insightful and interesting and I'd recommend it for anyone interested in modern conflict, so long as they apply a bit of a healthy filter in terms of bias- though good luck finding anything that ISN'T biased one way or another in this particular field e: also he hates our own Brown Moses and bellingcat

Echo Chamber posted:I'm still in the camp that believes ANY DAY NOW the Haitian Revolution is going to be big. (Well, I've been kind of obsessed with it for like four years now.) Not unlike how the Gladiator movie launched a new wave of Rome-mania. Or how 2008-2012 was sort of big for Lincoln. And of course the past two years or so was kind of big for Hamilton for obvious reasons. I think a big part of it not getting much contemporary recognition is that Haiti's story doesn't really have a happy ending

Hazborgufen posted:I just listened to Carlin’s most recent Common Sense episode. Sounds like the current political environment has really taken his toll on him. He talks about that in this google talk. Apparently we're so far into retarded uncharted waters that he feels as much as a novice as anyone else and doesn't feel like he has anything meaningful insight to contribute in the realm of modern politics Also that google talk was alright

I like Carlin a lot but domestic US politics outside of election season is boring as gently caress, so why anyone would want to listen to common sense in the first place is beyond me e: though I suppose if you're unfortunate enough to be american you might feel differently Bohemian Nights fucked around with this message at 13:59 on Oct 31, 2017 |

I like radio war nerd but like with anything contemporary regarding politics and especially geopolitics, you gotta be very aware of their sources and their biases when going in and that you're probably getting about half the picture, and the half you're getting might often be more down with the Kremlin point of view than not

rotinaj posted:There was a podcast called “twilight histories” that does that. Looks like it is still going, and the maker also wrote a novel and a tabletop roleplaying game based off the idea. I remember listening and enjoying that podcast one million years ago. It had a great series about the black death in italy and others. Checked it out again recently and seems like the original host/writer hosed up his voice something fierce and has started leaving both writing and VA to others, and sadly it doesn't seem to have ever gotten any real traction or popularity, which is a shame
