Do you like history? Do you like podcasts?

I am rusty here, hope this is in the right place.

I do not watch a lot of TV, I enjoy podcasts.

I found Dan Carlins Hardcore History, originally on the ongoing WW1 series he is doing (5 episodes at 4 hours a piece)

He quotes a lot of historical sources, and when he is injecting his opinion he says so, he looks at events from an outside view, when a source he is quoting may be biased because they wrote the book to save their own skin (like Churchill, and various German/French WW1 generals).

He presents things very neutrally. He has a great way of tying one event into another far distant event.

His series on the mongols is great as well, as the other things in the library.

I know people here love history, and maybe you can give a listen and enjoy it too.
