@i_contemplate_ I like@HardcoreHistory but it's not…uh…terribly serious? -
.
@i_contemplate_@HardcoreHistory it's very well done but there's a lot of emphasis on the dramatic embellishments. -
.
@i_contemplate_@HardcoreHistory that said, their series on the mongols is great for getting past the glorious empire-building -
@bitemyapp@HardcoreHistory I love the Prophets of Doom most. The memetic contagion of religious fanaticism is brilliantly highlighted. -
.
@i_contemplate_@HardcoreHistory I just listened to Prophets of Doom while I was on vacation! Yes that was fantastic as well :) -
.
@i_contemplate_@HardcoreHistory very good for getting into the mindset of people at the time. -
@bitemyapp@HardcoreHistory Yes what I love what about Dan Carlin is that he cites his historians and doesn't pretend to authority.
