the chicken episode was kek
-
remind me what that was please
-
A Roman admiral during the 1st Punic war on the coast of Sicily getting frustrated that his priest was telling him he cant ambush the enemy, since the chickens were not hungry. This was some kind of superstition the Romans had. The Admiral throws the chickens overboard
>perhaps they would like to drink then
he goes on to lose the entire fleet as the Carthaginians were ready for him.cant remember what episode, but the whole Hannibal story arc was my favorite part
-
ah yes I vaguely remember something to that effect
-
That was Publius Claudius Pulcher. The sacred chickens were serious business. There is another funny anecdote involving the chickens but I can’t remember right now.
-
Is that why Honorius loved chickens
-
no, but the same superstitions over birds may have been been passed on to procopius who wrote that myth

scrotebrained if true, that’s a complete waste of food

hello everyone-
Once he figured out what he was doing, this podcast brutally mogs most history podcasts in terms of actually telling good history.
-
>this podcast brutally mogs most history podcasts
-
Agreed. The Byzantine stories are comfy and provide a lot of great lived-in detail of the empire that’s missed when you only study the high level history.
-
Its just sad that its in constant hiatus for years on end and when it resumes, then just for some special episodes.
I think the narrative has progressed through a single century in 4-5 years real time.
But then again, yes, its pretty good quality and we are close to the Fourth Crusade, after which byzantine history essentially ends, even if the podcast will continue.
-
He got way too caught up in doing side shit related to the Kickstarter and then, I guess, whatever mental health issues.

I hope his Lafayette book is good. Considering he seemed to generally admire/respect him before Duncan started going into a full TDS socialist haze I’d hope that doesn’t affect things.

That sis sounds like a pseud. I don’t get why people listen to him go on and on about the same shit for five hours and deciding not to include any actual substance. Is he the pseud’s podcaster?

He just started them back up in the last few weeks actually.
-
>He just started them back up in the last few weeks actually.
Oh damn, that good news.And of course it sucks if his dad has fallen ill, but that only happened recently and doesnt change the problem, that you often get for a whole year just bonus episodes or paid stuff or end of century overviews.
He always said that its his main occupation and main source of income, so he hopefully realizes that he cant stop the main narrative for so long during so many years in a row.

Gotta get the accent right.He’s the absolute best, I loved the tour of Constantinople episode with iirc Saint George? and the episode about John Chrysostom.

I hope his Lafayette book is good. Considering he seemed to generally admire/respect him before Duncan started going into a full TDS socialist haze I’d hope that doesn’t affect things.His dad is badly sick, I believe that has something to do with his declined pace in narrative episodes. Whatever’s going on, there’s been no decline in quality.
He’ll struggle to best John Julius Norich’s account of the fall of Constantinople though, I would honestly be pleased if he just read that to us to close it out.
He’s got good energy and he varies his tone of voice in a way that keeps you up and interested, like the opposite of a monotone. I imagine he got some training in some sort of performing art because it’s not a natural way of speaking, he must have had to have worked on it for a while.
-
>His dad is badly sick, I believe that has something to do with his declined pace in narrative episodes. Whatever’s going on, there’s been no decline in quality.
That would probably explain why he’s needed such a long break then. IIRC wasn’t he working with/for his dad at least early on? I know he got his dad to do some stuff for one of the Byzantine Stories episodes. I get the impression they’re pretty close so I can imagine that really messing him up.Honestly, it’s kind of funny that he started it as a fanboy continuation of History of Rome and at this point probably is verging on actual at least semi-respectable Byzantine historian himself considering actual Byzantine historians, guys he uses as sources even, listen to and compliment his podcast.
-
Does he even know Greek?
-
He has previously expressed interest in learning Greek so that he can read primary sources. I think that’s more of a lofty ambition than actual goal though.

*locks essential episode behind paywall
-
This is why I stopped listening. Waiting for months to hear about the Seige of Jerusalem and he locks it behind a paywall. I know that technically the Byzantines didn’t take part in it but he gave me blue balls so bad I’ll never forgive that english twink
-
You can download all the those extra episodes here
https://podcastaddict.com/podcast/2927675

>Seige of Jerusalem
Antioch was the actually impactful and impressive siege. Jerusalem was nothing in comparison especially since the Fatimids just took it when the crusaders arrived

*comfy and sovlfvl
-
History of Rome took 68 episodes to get from founding of Rome to Year of Four Emperors.
Revolutions took 68 episodes in Russian Revolution before Lenin returned to Russia.
-
Is that good or bad
-
There’s detail and then there’s waffling about the same thing 10 times in a row.
-
I’m willing to forgive him. The Russian Revolution is the big one, the one all previous revolutions are contributing to, the first one where the instigators dutifully studied what happens previously and went all out.
But i can’t fogive him for stopping after this, i’d have loved to hear his take on the Cuban Revolution and on 1989 Eastern Europe as well.
-
I get he’s been doing the podcast thing for awhile and wants to branch off into writing more books, but there are so many other 20th century revolutions he could cover. Hell, considering recent events, the last 30 years of Afghanistan history are worth their own in depth look.
-
Duncan would never do a series on the end of the USSR, because his side lost there
-
Duncan’s a massive freaking liberal, not a Bolshevik. He’d be the guy saying "nooooooo you can’t just use violence to free the proletariat think of the heckin democracy!!!"
-
He’s not a Bolshevik but I’m pretty sure he’s declared himself a socialist. He USED to be a liberal but got blackpilled after reading about the Haitian Revolution, lost his faith in his liberal heroes. Apparently he spends a the first chunk of the Lafayette book bitching about Washington specifically because of slavery and "native genocide" even though it was clear listening to the American Revolution series he admired Washington.
Then he moved to Paris to research the book and got terminal TDS so now he’s a socialist.
-
I’m listening to the Haiti one now and he’s mostly portraying everybody besides Sonthonax as a dumb poopyhole, white or black
I listened out of order and he only first sounded like a gommie to me with 1848 when he kept repeating his dumb mantra about how liberals "didn’t want to answer the social question"-
I think he kept repeating that shit becausr he wanted to set up the paris commune and the russian revolution. He kind of builds on the same concepts through esch revolution.
-
>I listened out of order and he only first sounded like a gommie to me with 1848 when he kept repeating his dumb mantra about how liberals "didn’t want to answer the social question
You must be American. Everywhere else in the world Liberalism is the ideology of the business owner. If you’re employed like 90 % of any society you have no reason to support them because they’re not giving you a damn thing.

Commies are trash

-
The Russian revolution having +20 episodes of just going through various ideologies is too much
-
-
When was the starting point?
Did he start with 1917? 1905? 1860s? Ivan III? In the latter cases it’s justifiable but I can’t imagine talking about a few months for 30 hours

> History of Pirates
Probably my favorite. The guy goes into autistic detail and is a good narrator. He also constantly gets sidetracked but it’s part of the charm. It took him over 200 episodes just to get to the Golden age.> Fall of Rome and Tides of History
Both are very good, but skip unscripted episodes (interviews and extras).> Emperors of Rome
Meh, but it’s not like we have a cornucopia of podcasts on Rome.I’ve also heard good things about History of Egypt and one of the two English history podcasts.
-
History of England is comfy

It’s simply the best history podcast by a wide margin. No one sane could enjoy Mike Duncan after listening to it.
-

I like the China History podcast. Yes, it’s out of order, but so much more comfy to listen too. If you aren’t autistic about chronology, it’s a great listen.
-
not exactly a podcast, but a series on youtube
Fall of Civilizations
just for the specific topic alone its great -
The Hellenistic age podcast
-
>Pax Britannica
Only just reached the opening battle of the English Civil War, Edgehill. Overall a breddy gud podcast, well presented and researched. Bear in mind that he wants to take this all the way to the end of the Empire in the mid-20th century but it’s taken him since February 2019 to get to this point, so only start listening now if you’re alright with occasional updates instead of binge listening. Otherwise check back in a decade. Maybe two.>History of the Great War
A full and thorough history of WW1 in a week-by-week format. Presentation is a bit dry and he sometimes fucks up placenames hard (Charleroi, anyone?) but the information is of a good quality and well detailed. I’m only up to early 1915 so far. It’s a finished and completed podcast, so is suitable for bingelistening.Honorable mention:
>IMAGINE DARTH VADER…GOING TOE TO TOE…WITH MIKE TYSON…AND THEY’RE SLUGGING IT OUT, BAM, BAM…BAM. IT’S BLOODY, IT’S POINTLESS. NOW YOU CAN…UNDERSTAND…A LITTLE BIT OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO BE IN THE TRENCHES OF THE SOMME…IN MAY 1917.
>END QUOTE
For all the shit LULZ gives him for his bombastic style of presentation, I do enjoy Carlin.-
I love Carlin. His voice is soothing and pleasant. His podcasts, while somewhat plebbit tier, are just great story time. I’m not a professional historian, I’m never gonna make money from it or anything, so story time is what I am in for.
-
>blowback
enjoyed it, both seasons
even with the leftist leaning it was a nice experience
>13 minutes to the moon

I’m thinking of listening since ep 1 again while he finishes supernova-
His podcast channel only has like the past 10 episodes in the app i’m using. How do i get the rest?
-
Mike Duncan literally mogs in every conceivable way. Unless you are an npc with attebtion span of a fish. That sis has no substance on his podcasts. He wastes half the time with unnecessary comparisons and very brainlet analogies. I listen but learn nothing.
-
>listening to Carlin with the primary objective of learning
You’re doing it wrong. Carlin is primarily a form of entertainment, any learning of historical facts (outside of many interesting anecdotes) that may happen is incidental/accidental.Don’t be mistaken in thinking I’m being snobbish by saying he’s just for entertainment, you’d be wrong. I think he’s a fantastic form of entertainment and thoroughly enjoy listening to everything he puts out. Sometimes it’s nice to hear history I already know packaged in a format that’s not so dry.

>Dan Carlin – Hardcore History ep. 1-62 (OPUS codec)
I need this but for the Byzantium podcast. Locking regular episodes behind a paywall in a narrative history podcast is just silly.-
There aren’t any regular episodes behind a paywall; what garbage app are you using to try and listen to it?
-
There are some. I can’t remember. I pay for the episodes, so this isn’t a concern for me. It’s like $5 a month.
-
Ah fuck yeah nah I remember now. There’s something like 5 episodes scattered through the narrative so far that are paywalled. Supposedly they’re not important to the overall narrative but it’s still kind of a shitty thing to do. He really should either make them bonus episodes that aren’t part of the numbered episodes or make them free.

I unironically don’t understand how podcasts work. Did Dan Carlin quit? I haven’t seen the trace of new episodes for years.
-
just torrent it
-
-
Time is finite, son. May as well use it to listen to people that actually puts in the work instead of the joe rogan equivalent of history podcasts. And I like Joe so don’t take it as an insult, but people that listen to Carlin are brainlets pretending to be pseuds

I’ve been really enjoying Patrick Wyman’s stuff, listened to that audiobook of the Verge and found it very good. Just started his Fall of Rome podcast as well, I like his narrative style of using a representative made up character to personify the systemic changes of the era.

I only googled it. You can find another RSS feed like that from that site but it’s missing a couple episodes.
If I understand correctly, you can now get all of these just by subscribing to his Patreon for $6, but earlier he was selling them for $7 each which is ridiculous.
-

neat. Guess I can finally listen to those. I was super pissed that he put the Justinian episode behind a paywall. btw what did you google?-

started History of Pirates and its good but this guy used a whole episode just to simp for Martin Luther

I think he spent like five years on (incomplete) coverage of the Nine Years War, unrelated to piracy. He also at some point had switched from the Atlantic to the Barbary coast pirates but after 20+ episodes realized that he would have to stop and went back.

He’s great entertainment, good to just zone out to and not pay a huge amount of attention to. Whereas with more academic podcasts it’s educational, so you have to pay attention more. Good to fall asleep to. Also it’s fun to do impressions of him lel
>Hiroo Onoda…. is not the ONLY Japanese soldier to walk out of the jungle in nineteen seventy FOUR. There are two …. others. What the hell is THAT?-
honestly though, I will give him props for giving a not terrible portrayal of just how scrotebrained and dysfunctional the jap government was pre ww2, but he did give them the benefit of the doubt a bit much and also didn’t go into just how many scrotebrained junior officers sworded government officials they didn’t like

It’s all so tiresome -
basically my only requirements for history podcasts are like
– avoid subjects I’m very familiar with (because I’ll get upset at minor inaccuracies)
– no libtard politics (I don’t want to be arguing in my head with some dude talking)
– no whig historiography or chronocentrist (is that a word?) post facto moralizing -
I remember really liking the Tetrarchy period when I was listening to HoR for the first time, something about the short episode format really makes you feel drawn in and "root" for Rome because you’ve followed along for such a long time, and after it being a shitshow for so long and for so many episodes it’s so good to finally calm down a bit. I also remember liking when we don’t visit the actual city of Rome for hundreds of years because it’s not relevant any more then we finally go back there near the end to bring it full circle
Revolutions is a bit too in depth for me but the French one was bretty gud
-
Are there any decent ancient Greek podcasts? Other that just listening through the in our time archive. Preferably ones that don’t just take the approach of autistically listing who went where and fought whom in what year

Not specifically a history podcast, but their episodes on Caesar and Mark Anthony were really good
