I hadn't listened to Dan Carlin before but these were damned good and I can't wait for part 4.

There's a lot of different topics he's covered, what should I listen to next?

List of episodes


I'm thinking this one:

(Blitz) The Destroyer of Worlds

What happens if human beings can't handle the power of their own weaponry? This show examines the dangerous early years of the Nuclear Age and humankind's efforts to avoid self-destruction at the hands of its own creation.

Destroyer of worlds is good and it’s quick. I learned stuff about Truman I never knew. I am listening to Blueprint to Armageddon again. The one about torture and public execution is pretty good too.

Blueprint for Armageddon
Wrath of Khans
King of Kings
The Celtic Holocaust

All those I listed I would listen to before Destroyer of Worlds. But that episode isn’t bad either.

The series on the decline of the Roman Republic is very interesting as well.

I wasn’t as much of a fan of that one.

Every new Dan Carlin listener should start with Blueprint for Armageddon. IMO it's the GOAT historical podcasting series.

After that I enjoyed Death Throes of the Republic and Ghost of the Ostfront.

Also, he has to be getting close to releasing Episode 4 of Supernova in the East.

Blueprint for Armageddon is probably his best work.

Prophets of Doom was a great one too.

I need to go back and listen to the Celtic Holocaust because I thought it was sub par compared to everything else of his I listened too

Blueprint for Armageddon is the best imo. Ghost of the Ostfront was the one I enjoyed most after that.

This one is up there with the best for me. Most of his pods are about wars. So, this one is very unique. It's a crazy story that I knew nothing about going into it. So, it was very enthralling.

This is the best one when it comes to historical events that few know anything about. I'd never heard anything about it before.

I would recommend spending the ~$60 and buying the entire series.

I started King of Kings but he drones on so much about very loosely relevant topics.. after about 45 minutes of talking about Babylonians and ancient people I just got tired of it.

Try History on Fire if you like the subject matter. His accent is pretty thick, but his episodes on TR and Cortes are incredible.
