Dan Carlin

It's a hard recipe to master, but when passion and reason are finely blended the results can be unpredictable and intoxicating. They can also be maddening. This is part of the attraction of Dan Carlin. Original and outside-the-box thinking on current events and history to be sure, but could he also be woefully out of step with conventional wisdom?

He talks fast, he's loud, he's a deep thinker who adores history and who will challenge your view of the world, while he does the same thing to himself. He's a bit of a throwback to something from the past, and yet not quite like anything else yet seen. It's a New Media/ “eye of the beholder” sort of thing. You'll have to decide for yourself. His style is not for everyone. It's not meant to be.

Fast Talking Political Commentary

Common Sense with Dan Carlin is an independent look at politics and current events from popular New Media personality Dan Carlin.

Reviews:

"Thinking, not blind opinion. This is neither left nor right...it's an intelligent, articulate, knowledgeable person talking to you as if you have a mind. If you do, listen and treat yourself! I wish there were more like this. Nice dry sense of humor too."

History Like You've Never Heard It Before

In "Hardcore History" the very unconventional 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. It's not for everyone. But the innovative style and approach has made "Dan Carlin's Hardcore History" a New Media hit.

EXTRA Hardcore History

Longtime HH listeners know that for some time we have been trying to add some special shows just on a pay-for-download basis. This was always going to be my famous, never-even-close-to-being-realized "Greatest Armies of All Time" podcast.

Unfortunately, I found that it was almost impossible to do that while doing the regular free shows we do (and we always give precedence to the regular free shows in terms of importance).  Many listeners suggested a good way to make use of research and effort that was already done would be to do a "show AFTER the show" podcast that was an addition to the previous big HH episode that recently aired.

It's a great idea, and we had been considering similar ones. We always have lots of leftover good stuff ("cutting room floor" elements) and it would be a great way for me to go more into depth into the military aspects and details  that I like. We also could make corrections or clarifications and also give "what we were thinking" breakdowns of the podcast, etc.

Well, we have actually almost finished the first one of these shows. Yes...we are as astounded as you are.  We don't know how good it is (it is totally off-the-cuff...just talking about the previous show. There's no storyline or anything) but it is about an hour long.  It is for only the few among you who didn't get enough (or way, way too much!) of the subject with "Thor's Angels".  It's Extra Hardcore History for the extra hardcore among you. We sure didn't want to "pollute the feed" for all the regular listeners with this content devoted to a subject they just heard for 4+ hours! These show will need to be downloaded from our website the same way archived podcast episodes are. Itunes and the like ... (Read More)
