Title: Hardcore History
Post by: Mylochka on September 22, 2014, 03:32:28 PM

Does anyone else follow this podcast?  Dan Carlin has a kind of annoying AM DJ Let-Me-Tell-You-About-Life-Insurance sort of voice, but he's a good storyteller and focuses on some very interesting but often sadly neglected bits of history. He's working through WWI right now, but I really enjoyed his takes on the Punic Wars and the period after Alexander the Great's death.

In short -- Joe Bob gives it two thumbs up. Check it out!

Just want to put another plug in for this series of podcasts -- I listened last night to Episode 48 "Prophets of Doom" about Jan van Leiden and the Anabaptist takeover of the city of Munster.  What a story!  Blood and religion. Sex and communism. Torture and idealism. Martyrs and madmen... Gory, but riveting.
