“Don’t worry about the length of each ep or series. Dan’s conversational style, like a long yarn around a fire with old friends gradually immerses you in to the epic stories of great human events that have framed human civilisation. It is not dry narration of events, instead it try’s to bring a sense of the thoughts and experiences of individuals, great and small, who were there at the time. He clearly researches across the entire canon of available material and credits it all.
Incredibly, he manages to divert into the minutiae of individuals stories and surrounding context without losing the thread of the larger picture and the timeline he is navigating to inform us. You never end up wondering “where are we” or “how does this matter?” The strings of thought come together and we are clear where we are in the unfolding saga. This is truely the art of story telling. It’s sort of like Jazz music but with words.
I do long drives across my Australian landscape. They are on highways that are relatively boring and endless. Listening to Dan’s work soaks up the hours and I learn a great deal about events but also the context and personalities involved . In the end it is enormously satisfying. A real pleasure.
Drive in… it will capture your imagination.
Seriously recommended. M”

If even one of my teachers had the passion and imagination Dan Carlin puts into his podcasts,...”Read full review »
