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!!
Henry –
Fantastic as usual Mr Carlin
Daniel Vancea –
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!
– an (Australian) fan.

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.
