Dan Carlin produces a series of podcasts called "Hardcore Histories" - they're usually about three hours long, often multipart. Dan's American, and... the best way to describe him I think is very intense. He does have a fine ear for telling a story, though, and some quite sharp insights into history.
The current episode is entitled Blueprint for Armageddon I, and is (one would assume from the "I") part I of a series about the origins of WW1. I'm about 45 mins into it on my daily commute, and I'm finding it a fascinating companion to the AJP Taylor book. See what you think - you may enjoy it.
Loved Carlin's series on the Roman Civil Wars. He's a bit over the top for some tastes, but I think his series is great.
ReplyDeleteHis Eastern Front series was also very good. He can be a bit dark and foreboding mixed with "gosh wow" but as an intro to the subject(s) I like his style.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting Mike, seems very interesting
