I came here to recommend (1), (2) and (6) - and frankly, I prefer both Mike Duncan's and Robin Pierson's style over Dan Carlin's, as the latter easily becomes grating to my ears. Give me Duncan's deadpan humor any day.

Thanks for the other podcasts, by the way!

I also prefer Duncan and Pierson to Carlin, but I have come to accept that I am in the minority. I have not actually listened to the last few Hardcore History episodes because I can't handle Carlin's "quote voice"

I look forward to checking out your podcast! I'm just following Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast and he's nearly up to WWI historically, would be a nice segue to new content.

My advice, skip the first 30ish episodes, they are rubbish, I had no idea what I was doing, and I have not had time to go back and fix them. ;)

I quit because of what you call his "quote voice." As if everyone in history talked in that way.
