Hardcore History

December 11th, 2008

In “Hardcore History” Dan Carlin takes his “Martian”, outside-the-box 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 is a difficult-to-classify show that has a rather sharp edge.

24 shows available to date covering the Black Death, World War 2, The Great Depression, 1066, Assyrian empire. Great for pupils who learn by listening.

This is a high quality free of charge podcast.
