For History Buffs - NF

Hey all,

 

I know some people on here are history buffs and I just wanted to pass on a great narrator and historian that everyone should listen to. His name is Dan Carlin.

 

He is an American historian who takes a look at different things in absolutely every possible angle. His work on the First World War was so informative that I learned things from him that I didn't know about and I spent 4 years at the U of Waterloo studying history lol.

 

He covers such topics as slavery, WW1 and 2, the aftermath of WW1, the Tunic wars, the apache's the Spanish American war, the rise of the Khans, etc. he has 47 episodes. Some are available on line on his website or through the apple podcasts.

 

His website and podcast site is called Hardcore History

Thanks for the heads up on this, I had heard of him but didn't realize he covered such a broad range of topics.

 

I found it here https://kat.cr/dan-carlin-hardcore-history-01-48-t11011300.html

And it's not dry lectures, it's a guy speaking passionately about every topic and pulls no punches and takes no sides.

 

I'm listening to the four part series of eastern front of WW2 between Russian and Germany... Man both side were screwed regardless

Cliff, I clicked on the link and got so many pop ups.

 

Would love to listen to this stuff.

Dave, wars never end well, no matter who wins, Wish it was Like Hogan's Heros and MASH.

 

Glad he is passing on his knowledge. Hope the people who govern us listen carefully.

He goes beyond, he talks about battles, societal and economical effects, political leaders etc.

 

But the topics he discusses that I've never heard of like the Khan dynasty was really interesting

if they were all like me, we would not need York's finest.

Sorry about that I guess I must have a filter or something, I had no problem with it?

I am halfway through part 2 of Dan Carlins "King of Kings" Podcast about the Persian empire. It's really fascinating and colorful, not dry at all. I recommend it highly.
