He saved my unknown love for history. Didn't realize how much I enjoyed history before I heard his podcast and now I listen to history books all the time.
You know, he is the only content creator who I will definitely listen to as soon as I become aware of a new episode. And I am a junkie. Just like many of the rest of you.
You can tell this is really foundational history for him, he loves the topic, I can’t wait until he eventually does the full story, I studied Alexander in school for half of my Classical Studies grade and it was my favourite year of any subject
I find your narration style to be my favorite of all the podcasts/posts. The intonations and style really add to grasping the information. Thank you so much for your efforts!
Dan, you are wonderful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have had some very trying times in recent months and although there are some charming podcasts out there - it is only yours which can pull me up and out of a slump. Your wit, fierce intelligence and most importantly, approachability, make me feel like I’m sat with an interesting and learned FRIEND and as soppy as this message is - I want you to know just how valued you and your hard work are.
I’ve been stuck around 1:24:00 - 1:35:00 for nearly a week. Love this podcasts because it’s so interesting and it has put me to sleep so consistently. Who needs sleep medicine when you have Dans soothing voice?.. 10/10
I'm a potter and welder. Doesn't seem to matter the task, Dan is always right there in my ear, making me re-think the world. I am so grateful THANK YOU Dan (& team)!!!
Appreciate Carlin's storytelling ability. Carlin really gets into it to a dork level degree with annunciations and tones which he effortlessly falls into. shine on you beautifully excited fella
If you have not checked out his website then I'd definently recommend giving it a look. Carlin is the only person who I've paid to listen to. Some of his content he posts for free, but there are some really good ones behind the pay wall.
This channel is sooo under appreciated! I get that the episode length scares many of the TikTok generation away. But my god, the work that must go into each of these videos! I love it all, thanks so much Dan. These videos are a real treasure trove.
I'm so grateful that lex had you on his podcast. I am obsessed with Alexander and that entire saga. Can not wait to listen to all the rest of your podcasts and the upcoming Alexander episodes you're working on. This was my first time listening to your work and I'm totally won over by your style and passion. Got yourself a new subscriber and fan.
You have another fan from Paraguay here, I enjoy the Three hours and 30 minutes. Practicing Origami here and learning a lot about history. Thank you for your existence.
Check out Mike Duncans podcast, my guess is you will love it. Here is the link to his episode about Marcus Aurelius. th-cam.com/video/eW3DVSY_zeE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=-Timaeus-
Can’t wait to listen to this tomorrow while driving. Knowing there’s a Hardcore History show out, but waiting for 2 days to hear it is damn near torture.
Ultimately, the problem is the walls that the studios have up, and the way it takes to get over them. If a person has a good idea and they send it in as a script, it's sent back unread with the label "No unsolicited materials." This means it has to be submitted by an agent. So you send it to an agent and they send it back unread with the label "No unsolicited materials." This means it has to be submitted to them by a manager. So you send it to a manager and they send it back unread with the label "No unsolicited materials." So how do you get it solicited. Well, that's where "it's who you know" comes in. It all becomes about relationships and socializing your way to "the right people." You have to get yourself seen by them, then liked by them, and you have to remain in their good graces. This means kissing their asses and never calling them out on anything. This is how sexual harassment and those sorts of things happened, because plenty of people see it, but the ones who call it out are blacklisted and can never get their projects seen again. Those who do play ball; who help cover up misdeeds and hang around only "the right people" finally get their projects seen, and those are what are chosen for movies. So the bottom line is, the skills it takes to get your films made are not the abilities to tell a good and original story; they are about socializing with the "right" people. And by the time you get through all of that, you're too exhausted to come up with an original story, so you just retell an old one at a time when these social walls were not quite as tightly built.
It isn't just script writing. When you look at background of various child actors/actresses that graduate to larger roles. Those from UK are mostly all from theater where you have to prove yourself, vs the US in which a disproportionate number are the children of actors, models, action stars.
Also, studio heads tightly control certain narratives. This explains why Holocaust movies hit the big screen while Adolph Hitler's: The Greatest Story Never Told is relegated to Bitchute
And that's why some of us only listen to podcasts and You Tubers. They're not evenly well-produced, hell, some of the creators aren't even as smart as I am. But the all DO have an interesting viewpoint, or area of expertise, or they're charming...none of this "sons and daughters of established podcasters and You Tubers" crap.
Omg what is this .. I get more excited for drops here than any other channel cause it’s so long in between uploads to his TH-cam page and the quality is amazing..if this is real 3 1/2 hours Carlin is the man!! Thanks
I've listened to a bunch of your podcast while working the kitchen - so i miss a lot. But your episodes on ww1, it's preludes and also your episode on torture and death penalties have really shifted my perspective and it's very humbling.
I'm a new Dan Carlin fan and I've listened to so many of his podcasts on Stitcher and I'm running out of episodes so I started searching looking for more material and look what I find! Also, his site has so much on there that I wasn't even aware of. I listen almost every night in bed while I drift off to sleep and I need more! I love what you're doing Dan and you've taught me so much! THANK YOU!!!
This is something I thought I'd never be interested in but here I am. And a Dan Carlin movie is something I never thought I needed, but I look forward to it.
I love your in-depth look at history. A look at the history and take over of the nation of Hawaii is more than compelling. I would love to hear your take on the hardcore history of Hawaii.
I love listening to history podcasts when I sleep but I can't do it with Dan. He is to excitable when telling his tales. I just listen to him while I work instead.
Some great university, please honor this man with a Doctorate and a tenured position. Everything he presents is a masters course in each subject he chooses to tackle. Better yet we, the history geeks of the world, need a Documentary Series with Dan.
Oh Jesus every time one of these pops up I know I’ve got a months worth of thinking to do. Painfotainment sparked a mountain of thoughts and discussion points
I just gave this a thumbs up before I even listened to it. I mean come on, it's Dan. I'm certainly not going to hate it. I understand that this means that it will be at least seven months before we get a 6-hour episode. I'm okay with that and I am very excited about this. Thank you. Mr. Carlin.
I got a glass of Gin & Tonic and a frshly rolled-up blunt..... ( new paper aswell- don't ask me why that matters) I am sooooo ready for this right now !!!! Thanks in advance dan for all the work you put in these !
He has said before he has expressed interest in the idea. However, you can not separate the French Revolution from the Napoleonic Wars, therefore it would be a super long series. That's according to him. Would I tottally be down for a 15 part series on the French Revolution/Napoleon? Absolutely!
Yes, I need it too, something like the King of Kings series, but from Constantine moving the capital to Byzantium to the fall of Constantinople in 1453.
Might one of those of Phillip's daughter/grand-daughter Greek Warrior Princesses running around have been named Xena, perchance? THEN ... everything makes sense ...
Hey Dan, did you ever see Alexander, The Final Cut? It was the last version that Oliver Stone released of that film for DVD. It was completely re-cut/re-edited and is a much better version than the original or the 2nd extended footage version. Worth a view I think. I look forward to your future Alexander show!
YESSSSS!!! Happiness when this just popped up. Grab the milk and cereal bowl, txt the boss you might have corona virus and won't be in tomorrow and just enjoy. Aloha
This is one of my all time favorite episodes. Olympia was an actual "girl-boss" unlike the trash characterisations they push in today's movies. Absolutely fascinating stuff here. Obe more thing to address some of the comments I've seen where people can't listen due to Macedonia being pronounced with a K sound: don't be dense, Cs are always pronounced that way in Greek, and Latin for that matter.
I'm in an airport right now and I have a 6 hour layover. The notification button sends me a Dan Carlin update.
God is real folks.
Indeed. Similar thing happened to me...heh.

Literally this.
When Dan talks, we listen.
Haha why drop what you are doing, when you can work and listen to What Dan has to say :)
Hollaaaaaaah
Yup....just stayed up all night to listen to this. But...as expected, it was worth it! Long day at work now thanks to you Dan!
You know it's going to be a good day when Dan Carlin posts. He is Santa for adults. I have surgery tomorrow and this is a much needed moral boost.
Words can’t express how much i appreciate dan.
He saved my unknown love for history. Didn't realize how much I enjoyed history before I heard his podcast and now I listen to history books all the time.

Here/ Here....
Dan the Man...
@@themightypotato3857 nah just a bunch oh history buff maybe the topic is that interesting to you?
IMO this has been Dan's most candid, sit-down style conversation like podcast we've had yet, and i love it
You can tell this is really foundational history for him, he loves the topic, I can’t wait until he eventually does the full story, I studied Alexander in school for half of my Classical Studies grade and it was my favourite year of any subject

Love it! Even the "Addendum" episodes are growing in length.
Yes this was my first thought. A 3.5 hour addendum? Wow.
Dan Carlin knows the people crave length and more content ! He needs someone to help him write so he can focus on reading and revising the first draft
@@Pop1nsk1 Well, Dan's already done a "blitz" Hardcore History that was 6 hours long. so why not. All the more enjoyment for us
@@evgenyfedorov6194 I don't even get what the difference between Blitz, Addendum and regular episodes is supposed to be anymore.
Dan just can't help it. But I think we all like it that way.
I find your narration style to be my favorite of all the podcasts/posts. The intonations and style really add to grasping the information. Thank you so much for your efforts!
How is Dan able to imprint more vivid images in my mind than any TV show or movie ever has.
Good voice, good cadence, clear speech, good volume + Interesting history = all around excellent storytelling. Couldn't ask for better!
I guess I'm not re listening to death throes of the republic today. Yay! Thank you Dan for the hundreds of hours of quality history entertainment.
Dan is a national treasure. I’ll support anything he produces. NOBODY brings history to life as well as Dan. Please keep the content coming!!!
Awesome! I have a 10 hour car journey today, I must commend you for your impeccable timing, thank you
How have I not heard of Dan Carlin until today? This is a fantastic podcast sir, I will definitely be tuning into more
Me to; first time I sat down and listened. Fantastic history podcast.
Never clicked something in my feed so fast. And 3+ hours of enthralling history. Awesome.
Same lol
Only Dan Carlin could pull off, "I'm saving most of this stuff in my back pocket" at the beginning of a 3.5 hour podcast.
Bryant Builds man is an absolute LEGEND
It's almost comical
The ATG episodes are gonna be soooooo good
And we still waiting for it
@@NihilisticOrgasmand we just got part 1

Listening to ur podcast help me get through hard days of welding. Thanks Mr. Dan, keep it up.
I literally plan my entire days off around new HH drops. I just finished King of Kings 3 and started this, the synergy was incredible. Wow.
Was just listening to King of Kings part 3 and on the Alexander part. What a coincidence.
Just finished that series... and took forever... never-ending rabbit hole...
king of kings is amazing, mind blowing stories and adventures
What a coincidence. I was just re-listening that part too.

Love your work and how you explain everything and you shouldn’t worry about the length. I could listen to this forever.
Love listening while working all alone in my shop. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to see a HH episode, even just an Addendum, on Marcus Aurelius!

I know right? What else is he holding out on to?
I hope he doesn’t wait 5 years before he gets to it.
I think you misunderstand. It means that it's on his list of shows to do in the future. Dan hasn't done any work on it yet.
