Thinking Outside Pandora’s Box

How did a multi-hour long show that consists of nothing more than a host talking about history ever become wildly popular? It’s got something to do with Dan Carlin.

He’s been called the king of long-form podcasting and “one of the greatest storytellers in the world”. His distinctive voice and style is one of the most instantly recognizable in the medium and with hundreds of millions of downloads, his shows are some of the most listened to podcasts of all time.

Carlin’s work weaves historical information with deep questions and Twilight Zone-style twists to help illustrate the power and continuing relevance of the past. Drama, extremes, empathy and vivid examples of both the highs and lows of humanity dominate the narrative. It’s a trademark mix of elements that has been entertaining listeners since 2005.

“If you listen to one episode of Hardcore History, you’ll realize how absolutely stupendous and amazing Dan Carlin is”

– Tim Ferriss

“A virtuoso orator with a master’s feel for the rhythm of language”

– Huffington Post

“Dan Carlin is not a professional historian. He is, however, one of the most gifted storytellers that your ears will ever encounter. He waxes lyrical about the darkest and most violent periods of humanity’s past with uninterrupted passion and drama, often for up to 4 hours at a time. The man is a yarn-spinning machine.”

– Esquire

“One of the early pioneers in podcasting, Carlin is, above all else, a skilled orator. He doesn’t interview guests or mix in audio effects. On his own, he dramatically narrates some of the most epic moments in human history with such color that Hollywood producers looking for new material ought to take notice.”

– TIME Magazine
