“I really used to love this show. But when you start in on insane rhetoric like, “The far right government of Israel.” I can no longer take it seriously. Dan is not uneducated nor ignorant.

I imagine he would take an hour and a half to explain how to pour a cup of coffee. Getting to the pouring part would only take...”Read full review »

“Immersive and enthralling podcast on history. Dan Carlin delivers a lived-in history. He takes figures, dates, and places and weaves them within the context of the situation and culture in a meaningful way. -It’s entertaining when he quotes someone:)”

I would need to listen several times though to retain it all in my colander brain so obsessed with history.
Especially older content, the Punic Wars...”Read full review »
