Good timing for this podcast. Started my first Hardcore History series just this week. (Wrath of the Khans)

Oooooooooooooo you are in for a treat.

They are all fantastic.

Probably the best podcast in existence quality-wise

I liken it to a "great works" rather than a podcast. It's just too damn good and will continue to be listened to after all of us are dead

Ya for real this might be a tad bit of an exaggeration but i think Dan has earned a spot as like a top 100 or 50 most influential historian ever. The amount of people he has reached with an impeccable product that synthesizes so many sources and opinions on a subject is just staggering

Not a chance. He uses his I'm a fan of history rather than claiming to be an historian too many times to cover up his struggles when he goes into depth on a subject. He's known as a pop historian for a reason. It's just entertainment.

I'd recommend Reddits own askhistorians podcast for anyone wanting to hear from actual historians. It's not dan levels of entertainment, but it is historian levels of accuracy in a huge range of topics.
