Podcasts | Hardcore History

Dan Carlin, my man. 

Where do I even start with Hardcore History? This podcast always blows my mind. The level of depth of research that Dan and his team do is mind boggling. 

I've realized over the years that I LOVE history. And, I especially love being able to learn about times in history in great depth.

Being very visual, I can easily get sucked into 3D recreations of towns, cities, and monuments throughout history. They transport me to that time. And, I am lost in wonder about how the inhabitants lives were, what they dreamt of, what they loved, and how they lived day to day. Hardcore History, for me, is an audio version of that. 

I still remember where I was and what I was doing when I listened to his 5 part series on Genghis Khan and the Mongol Empire called Wrath of the Khans. It was that impactful (I was building an electronic cabinet at the machine shop I worked at).

​If you listen to anything, I insist it's the Wrath of the Khans. It is a stroke of luck that Europe still exists and was not overtaken by a massive hoard of Steppe warriors that you could smell before you could see.
