In "Hardcore History" journalist and broadcaster Dan Carlin takes his "Martian", unorthodox way of thinking and applies it to the past. Was Alexander the Great as bad a person as Adolf Hitler? What would Apaches with modern weapons be like? Will our modern civilization ever fall like civilizations from past eras? This isn't academic history (and Carlin isn't a historian) but the podcast's unique blend of high drama, masterful narration and Twilight Zone-style twists has entertained millions of listeners.

Twilight of the Aesir II
Pagan Viking Sea Kings spend the 10th and 11th centuries morphing into Christian monarchs. But with rulers like Harald Bluetooth and Svein Forkbeard it's debatable whether things will be any less horrific for Scandinavia's neighbors

Twilight of the Aesir
This show picks up where Dan's Thor's Angels show left off. In the early Middle Ages Pagan Germanic-language speakers like the Vikings are a dying breed. Many of their contemporaries wish they'd die faster.

BLITZ Human Resources
The Atlantic Slave Trade mixes centuries of human bondage with violence, economics, commerce, geo-political competition, liberty, morality, injustice, revolution, tragedy and bloody reckonings. That sounds like a lot, yet this show merely scratches the surface of this enormous subject.

As good as promised and better
I procrastinated way too long on this. For some reason the idea to listen to 5 hour podcasts about long forgotten things put me off. Oh boy was I wrong... Exciting, addictive and with the benefit of getting away with no regrets and a far better understanding of the world and possibly even one self.
4.9 Stars from a few thousand ratings speak for themselves
Can’t complain about anything serious
Even at 5.0 stars this podcast is underrated.
See all these people claiming hardcore history to be the best podcast in existence? Theyre all right. HH is insanely, uniquely, ridiculously, perhaps even illegally, good. There are no words. Are you not into history? Listen to one episode and you will be. Are you already into history? This podcast gives you everything you mightve accused other secondary sources for not providing you with. If youre on the fence about this podcast get off the fence and listen to it. All the hype is real. Podcast apps should add a sixth star to the rating system reserved exclusively for HH.
