    Dan’s impeccable hi-storytelling is up to bat yet again. If you haven’t jumped on the Dan-wagon yet, what are you waiting for? Operators are standing by!!

    I’ve been waiting on pins and needles for the last few months for this podcast, and it was well worth the wait! Granted, it would have been nice if the wait had been much shorter…but all good things require time, patience and diligence, and that’s certainly on display here! Thanks Dan, keep ’em coming!

    Dan’s unique point of views when it comes to academia in modern history are revolutionary. He has pioneered an era which demands the questioning of the ‘great man’ theory of history. Carlin’s seamless interaction with history leads us to believe more accurate historical realities: history is built by societies, not men.

    I started listening to Dan about a year ago. I needed something to absorb me as I began running again. By the time I was done with everything he’d recorded I was training for a marathon. This latest installment on the King of Kings II will get me there. I’m very careful about what I consume, and this stuff is mental champagne. Good champagne. Order it all.

  6. Rated 5 out of 5

    Kenneth – March 30, 2016

    As I was downloading this episode, my immediate thought was: “these four hours will fly by and I will be left in a daze, asking myself what just happened”. Dan’s way of storytelling is peerless and his guiding you through the ages will ensure that you too will have this thought cross your mind at least once upon finishing this installment.

    It’s difficult to overstate how excited I am when I find any update at all on Hardcore History. The storytelling, the pleasant tone of voice, the genuine excitement that you can hear when Dan talks of our history… Topped off with the actual length of the (let’s be fair here) audiobook. Usually three hours or longer, this time it’s four hours. The feeling of pure bliss when listening can only be met with solemnly looking at your preferred listening device when you realize that it’s over, and you have to wait for a new update.

    I don’t know about you, but the instant I can upload some funds to Paypal, I’m buying the lot of these episodes. They make driving to work and indeed work itself a whole bunch more tolerable.

    Amazing job Dan!

  8. Rated 5 out of 5

    Ivan Neva – April 12, 2016

    Dan is the most awesome story teller in history! He sure knows how to entertain an audience while making sure he is as accurate as possible given the information at his hand. I have been hooked into his work since the very beginnings and he just keeps getting better. This particular episode was very enlightening because he makes a very good effort to give us the Persian side of the story about the very famous “first” encounter with the Greeks, something that we tend to ignore a bit as western educated people. Dan is a must-listen for any history fan.

    Very enlightening. Brings to life ancient civilizations I had only heard about. Where is part 3!!!?

    Dan is the “King of Kings” of modern historians. Bravo!

    I was enlightened by a friend. It seems I am always “the history guy” and my friend said I cant live without this. It’s TRUE.
    What got me into history, was sitting on my granddad’s knee, and having him tell me accounts of his dad that fought in WWI for the RFA, and his time in WWII in the aluetean islands. Such fond memorys… THIS is the quality you get with Dan Carlin. I’ve tried to get into historical podcasts before..this is not it. This is highly researched, intellectually produced, intricately detailed, STORY TELLING…that is so warm, focused, and just all around damn smart, you cant help but be hooked.
    Get into this. Start with king of kings. He starts with the Spartans at Thermopylae and asks, “we know who these Spartans are..who are the persians? ” and takes you on a journey all the way back to assyria and Babylon…he is amazing. 100 stars.
