History w/ Context & Perspective

Dan Carlins Hardcore History breathes life into the ghosts of our past. All too often we are so absorbed in our modern day outlook that we have no real context, for our history. Mr. Carlin offers a glimpse of those days gone by with a fervor that well represents the passion, fear, & melodrama that we humans live each day.

My Favourite Podcast

Hardcore History is a great podcast. If a little frustratingly infrequent of late. Offers a rare perspective on not just history but how much we can learn about current affairs by treating historical characters as modern people.
