    I don't know how many of you ever saw the artwork that the fabulous Nick Lay did for us to match my words when I said the Achaemenid Persian king Darius reminded me of a modern business CEO, so just sharing it here:pic.twitter.com/PZlKy7PALT

        . Sure. Darius (called "the Huckster" allegedly) had great managerial and mercantile skills apparently. I compared him to "the CEO of PersiaCorps" and Nick (who has always done our art) created this for the website (where it's kinda buried&hard to find).

        It's brilliant. I'm a historian of the Persian Empire & I've written about Darius for years. Yes, he was devoted to red-tape. I need to show this to my students.

        Sorry to lay "the huckster" thing on you. Obviously you know that better than I do. I thought the art was inspired myself. Nick is wonderful.

        No apology needed! It's an inspired reading of Darius. It really captures him.

        I actually think he continues to get better and better. He's just so in tune with what we do after all these years that the art fuses with the material and my personal style in a way that only comes through via familiarity.

        In his defense I should also point out that I sometimes nix beautiful pieces he creates because they don't match some other element I'm after. I've also had him do rush jobs that he'd have loved more time on.The least beautiful stuff of his is almost always due to my meddling.

        It comes with the territory, and being the host, sometimes everyone else runs on your timeframe. When you finally wrap something up, you want it out there. I’ve been there myself.

        . Hmmmmm, that's a good question. I wonder how many people would like prints of our artwork? I have one framed on my wall that was a gift (the "Ghosts of the Ostfront" cover). It's significant work for us if there's no significant demand though.

        I would love prints of the art found on your site. A lo of it is absolutely poignant and captures the gravity of the topics you describe.

        . We are (very) slowly going back and adding covers to the earlier archived shows. (Now if only I could go back and actually redo all the earlier shows top-to-bottom by my current, ever-evolving standards!) Don't quote me on this, but I think the art for "Bubonic Nukes" is next.

        That may be the show I most want to redo.I could do a fun 4hour show on that catastrophe("fun").I think we slammed through "Darkness Buries the Bronze Age" in 40 minutes or something.What a shortchanging of a fantastic topic.(In my defense,we did it in the podcasting Stone Age)

        Don't worry too much, aside from Fall of the Republic the first ten or twenty are my absolute favorites!

        That’s killer! I’m trying to think of ideas for Cyrus the Great or Vercingetorix parallels, but I’m not drunk enough, I guess.

        Try Vercingetorix and Tecumseh instead.

        They are VERY parallel, but Tecumseh isn’t exactly our timeline equivalent. Be a great Hardcore History episode though, hint hint.

        It was one of the first shows we ever did (and very much out-of-date now in many ways I think) https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-4-romancing-the-tribes/ … We were still trying to figure out what the HH was even going to BE back then (2006! Crazy...).

        Oh shit! Thanks man, love what you do! My only gripe with Celtic Holocaust was that it wasn’t ten hours long. I got into Celtic History when I did a report as a kid on the plains tribes, asked my Pops why we weren’t cool like them, he handed me a book on Celtic history.

        It happened to me while living in London as a kid while my mom worked on a job.I was about 6,got my 2d history book ever...and unlike the 1st (a U.S. one) it didn't start with guys in powdered wigs (since it was for English kids) it started with cavemen!Then on to Celtic types...

        Nice, I feel like it’s some ancestral haunting for us pigmentally challenged boys. We get some spooky feeling that in some other universe Vercingetorix won or Brennus smashed Rome when he could and the whole world is better, hahaha.
