Harcore History

Anyone listen to the Hardcore History podcasts?

I've been hungry for interesting content for my commutes and then I came across this. His WWI (Blueprint for Armageddon) series is epic. I just listened to his most recent on on the Assyrians / Babylonian / Persian Empire- also very good. The only complaint I have is that the guy takes forever to produce new content. But I heartily recommend it nonetheless.

Been a fan for a couple of years now. My absolute favorite is his 5 (6?) part series on the fall of the Roman Republic. The final entry in that series is 5 and a half hours long, but it just flies by. Another good one is Prophets of Doom - his one-off about the Münster Rebellion. That helped me get through an 8.5-hour layover this past summer.

Incidentally didn't like his new Persian one much, it felt a little disjointed and unfocused. Still though, any new content from him is welcome.

Yeah, I was looking at the Fall of the Republic series. I hadn't checked it out yet because it's not free.

. But I'm in bad enough need of commute content and it's only a few bucks, so I'll probably be getting it shortly.

I thought the Persian episode was interesting just as a reminder of how much historical content there is from that time period thats often overlooked.... by me at least.
