[JSt0rm]

How much was mentioned about the period just before the war, causes, etc.?

 

[JSt0rm]

3 hours of before the war stuff.

Cool, I didn't know there was a new king of kings 'cast. Thanks, op

I've tried. I just can't get into his way of presenting things. It always seems like he wanders off and it just adds so much time while bringing no substance.

Maybe I'll try again, just for something different to listen to.

It aint called hardcore for nothin' 🙂

 

[maddogchen]

yea, sometimes i think he is going off on a tangent, but then it becomes the main part of the story.

I'm a history junkie so I'll definitely have to check this out, thanks.

Both his Hardcore History and Common Sense podcasts are excellent. Though I do agree with TwiceOver a bit; his style does take some getting used to, especially as I normally consume history lectures versus history podcasts where it's a more personal and conversational tone (though I do listen to a ton of podcasts on other topics - see this thread for some other recommendations).

Someone should make a podcast thread similar to the "List movies you've seen and rate them" thread where individual episodes can be rated. I have more hours of podcasts than I can listen to. It would be nice to have a "Yeah, you definitely need to get to this episode before auto cleanup wipes it.." type thread.
