HISTORY

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.

These podcasts are fascinating. He puts a phenomenal amount of research into each episode, makes lots of historical connections and brings it alive. I’ve had to stop listening to them while driving. I was concentrating on the podcast and forgetting about the road.

Absolutely love Dan’s story telling & enthusiasm! These podcasts can get you through some long drives or hard days. Would be great to have access back to WW1 episodes, that’s what got me hooked in the first place. Always looking forward to new releases as well 👍
