I'm in an airport right now and I have a 6 hour layover. The notification button sends me a Dan Carlin update.
God is real folks.
Indeed. Similar thing happened to me...heh.
AL5harpton blasphemer
@@demetribell The middle ages called, they want their insults back.
Vinny if you were to listen to more of these you would find they didn’t have phones back then.
@@demetribell hahaha fair play! cheers
New Carlin pod dudes, time to drop everything we we're doing
Literally this.
When Dan talks, we listen.
Haha why drop what you are doing, when you can work and listen to What Dan has to say :)
Hollaaaaaaah
Yup....just stayed up all night to listen to this. But...as expected, it was worth it! Long day at work now thanks to you Dan!
Only Dan Carlin could pull off, "I'm saving most of this stuff in my back pocket" at the beginning of a 3.5 hour podcast.
Bryant Builds man is an absolute LEGEND
It's almost comical
The ATG episodes are gonna be soooooo good
And we still waiting for it
Words can’t express how much i appreciate dan.
He saved my unknown love for history. Didn't realize how much I enjoyed history before I heard his podcast and now I listen to history books all the time.
You know, he is the only content creator who I will definitely listen to as soon as I become aware of a new episode. And I am a junkie. Just like many of the rest of you.
lol. you people all sound like you're in a cult. i am really trying to like this podcast but currently I still just don't.
Here/ Here....
Dan the Man...
@@themightypotato3857 nah just a bunch oh history buff maybe the topic is that interesting to you?
You help me forget my depression...
Thank you
Love it! Even the "Addendum" episodes are growing in length.
Yes this was my first thought. A 3.5 hour addendum? Wow.
Dan Carlin knows the people crave length and more content ! He needs someone to help him write so he can focus on reading and revising the first draft
@@Pop1nsk1 Well, Dan's already done a "blitz" Hardcore History that was 6 hours long. so why not. All the more enjoyment for us
@@evgenyfedorov6194 I don't even get what the difference between Blitz, Addendum and regular episodes is supposed to be anymore.
Dan just can't help it. But I think we all like it that way.
Was just listening to King of Kings part 3 and on the Alexander part. What a coincidence.
Just finished that series... and took forever... never-ending rabbit hole...
king of kings is amazing, mind blowing stories and adventures
What a coincidence. I was just re-listening that part too.
If you have not checked out his website then I'd definently recommend giving it a look. Carlin is the only person who I've paid to listen to. Some of his content he posts for free, but there are some really good ones behind the pay wall.
@@julians7268 Him and Louis C.K. are the only people I'd pay for their content.
You know it's going to be a good day when Dan Carlin posts. He is Santa for adults. I have surgery tomorrow and this is a much needed moral boost.
Today is a good day.
Yes. I've missed these
to die

I would love to see a HH episode, even just an Addendum, on Marcus Aurelius!
Check out Mike Duncans podcast, my guess is you will love it. Here is the link to his episode about Marcus Aurelius.

You’re an insecure snake!
𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 an addendum?😂
Was always crazy to me how his son was such a POS and he was one of the greatest men in history.
Dan, in case you might be reading this, you really should make a patreon account.
There are lots of us that would be more than willing to support you. We really don't want you to ever go away :D
He does have a patreon, it's www.patreon.com/dancarlin
yes Yes YEs YES YEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Never clicked something in my feed so fast. And 3+ hours of enthralling history. Awesome.
Same lol
Ultimately, the problem is the walls that the studios have up, and the way it takes to get over them. If a person has a good idea and they send it in as a script, it's sent back unread with the label "No unsolicited materials." This means it has to be submitted by an agent. So you send it to an agent and they send it back unread with the label "No unsolicited materials." This means it has to be submitted to them by a manager. So you send it to a manager and they send it back unread with the label "No unsolicited materials." So how do you get it solicited. Well, that's where "it's who you know" comes in. It all becomes about relationships and socializing your way to "the right people." You have to get yourself seen by them, then liked by them, and you have to remain in their good graces. This means kissing their asses and never calling them out on anything. This is how sexual harassment and those sorts of things happened, because plenty of people see it, but the ones who call it out are blacklisted and can never get their projects seen again. Those who do play ball; who help cover up misdeeds and hang around only "the right people" finally get their projects seen, and those are what are chosen for movies.
So the bottom line is, the skills it takes to get your films made are not the abilities to tell a good and original story; they are about socializing with the "right" people.
And by the time you get through all of that, you're too exhausted to come up with an original story, so you just retell an old one at a time when these social walls were not quite as tightly built.
It isn't just script writing. When you look at background of various child actors/actresses that graduate to larger roles. Those from UK are mostly all from theater where you have to prove yourself, vs the US in which a disproportionate number are the children of actors, models, action stars.
Also, studio heads tightly control certain narratives. This explains why Holocaust movies hit the big screen while Adolph Hitler's: The Greatest Story Never Told is relegated to Bitchute
And that's why some of us only listen to podcasts and You Tubers. They're not evenly well-produced, hell, some of the creators aren't even as smart as I am. But the all DO have an interesting viewpoint, or area of expertise, or they're charming...none of this "sons and daughters of established podcasters and You Tubers" crap.
@@firstlast-ml8di yeah there's no nepotism in UK showbusiness
IMO this has been Dan's most candid, sit-down style conversation like podcast we've had yet, and i love it
You can tell this is really foundational history for him, he loves the topic, I can’t wait until he eventually does the full story, I studied Alexander in school for half of my Classical Studies grade and it was my favourite year of any subject
3 minutes ago this drops... I was just about to sleep man
Same, looks like I'll be packing a bowl and making some soup. Settle in for a comfy night friends
I guess I'm not re listening to death throes of the republic today. Yay! Thank you Dan for the hundreds of hours of quality history entertainment.
I literally plan my entire days off around new HH drops. I just finished King of Kings 3 and started this, the synergy was incredible. Wow.
Dan is a national treasure. I’ll support anything he produces. NOBODY brings history to life as well as Dan. Please keep the content coming!!!
Mr. Carlin, YOU'VE ruined me for fiction.
Yup, Dan leave your mind-hole all stretched out. Only Dan can satisfy it now...
@@Sean-no3zv pause bro u doin too much
@@smackskurdLMAOOOO
I find your narration style to be my favorite of all the podcasts/posts. The intonations and style really add to grasping the information. Thank you so much for your efforts!
How is Dan able to imprint more vivid images in my mind than any TV show or movie ever has.
Dan, you are wonderful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have had some very trying times in recent months and although there are some charming podcasts out there - it is only yours which can pull me up and out of a slump. Your wit, fierce intelligence and most importantly, approachability, make me feel like I’m sat with an interesting and learned FRIEND and as soppy as this message is - I want you to know just how valued you and your hard work are.
Your voice is music to my ears. I love everything you put out. Keep it up Dan!
YES! My favorite podcast. I always get super inspired by Dan.
We been waiting dan. Thank you very much SR....
Listening to ur podcast help me get through hard days of welding. Thanks Mr. Dan, keep it up.
Thank you Dan!!!! Your work is much appreciated.
Love your work and how you explain everything and you shouldn’t worry about the length. I could listen to this forever.
Thank you Mr. Carlin for your work. I am thankful to have found your channel. Have a great year.
Thank you for the work you do Dan!
Awesome! I have a 10 hour car journey today, I must commend you for your impeccable timing, thank you
[Making phone-call]
Evening boss, clear my AM. Goodnight.
Yes!!! I've got a 3 hour drive tomorrow morning and I'm ready! Thank you Dan!!!
AWWWWW YEAH! Been waiting so long for some new Dan Carlin material - thanks for uploading Dan!
Love listening while working all alone in my shop. Thanks for sharing.
Words really cant describe how excited I am everytime good ole dan drops a new history lesson for us
How have I not heard of Dan Carlin until today? This is a fantastic podcast sir, I will definitely be tuning into more
Just found this stuff. Absolutely brilliant. Listening every night. Keeps me awake
I'm so grateful that lex had you on his podcast. I am obsessed with Alexander and that entire saga. Can not wait to listen to all the rest of your podcasts and the upcoming Alexander episodes you're working on. This was my first time listening to your work and I'm totally won over by your style and passion. Got yourself a new subscriber and fan.
Awesome to have you back! Saving this for a long flight coming up :) :) :)
Love your work Mr Carlin. Keep it up
YESSSSS!!! Happiness when this just popped up. Grab the milk and cereal bowl, txt the boss you might have corona virus and won't be in tomorrow and just enjoy. Aloha
I've listened to a bunch of your podcast while working the kitchen - so i miss a lot. But your episodes on ww1, it's preludes and also your episode on torture and death penalties have really shifted my perspective and it's very humbling.
I cant even express how happy I get when I have new Dan Carlin episodes to listen to!
This is a personal thank you for your work.
So thank you
Good voice, good cadence, clear speech, good volume + Interesting history = all around excellent storytelling. Couldn't ask for better!
Dan, this is amazing! Thank you!
Your stuff is great! Thanks for the hard work time and dedication you put in here.
Thank you so much Dan, you are a treasure and your book was awesome!
Enjoying this on a rainy cold Saturday.
Love this Dan Carlin
Dan I want to tell you that I love everything you have done, I listened to you for months.
This is something I thought I'd never be interested in but here I am. And a Dan Carlin movie is something I never thought I needed, but I look forward to it.
Damn, it's been months since I've seen new Hardcore History uploaded to YT. Can't wait to get into this one.
This channel is sooo under appreciated! I get that the episode length scares many of the TikTok generation away. But my god, the work that must go into each of these videos! I love it all, thanks so much Dan. These videos are a real treasure trove.
I'm new to podcasts at the core... dan carlin woooh!
Can’t wait to listen to this tomorrow while driving. Knowing there’s a Hardcore History show out, but waiting for 2 days to hear it is damn near torture.
Calls his new show 'addendum'; the latest episode turns out to be over three hours long...never change, Dan.
Love the new book Dan. Almost finished with it. The Bronze Age Collapse is fascinating.
I'm a potter and welder. Doesn't seem to matter the task, Dan is always right there in my ear, making me re-think the world. I am so grateful THANK YOU Dan (& team)!!!
I’ve been stuck around 1:24:00 - 1:35:00 for nearly a week. Love this podcasts because it’s so interesting and it has put me to sleep so consistently. Who needs sleep medicine when you have Dans soothing voice?.. 10/10
A Dan Carlin video a must watch as always
We love that you fail on keeping it short. Your podcast is pure drama and thought.
How would I fill my empty hours with out hardcore history! Your doing Gods work Dan!
I'm a new Dan Carlin fan and I've listened to so many of his podcasts on Stitcher and I'm running out of episodes so I started searching looking for more material and look what I find! Also, his site has so much on there that I wasn't even aware of. I listen almost every night in bed while I drift off to sleep and I need more! I love what you're doing Dan and you've taught me so much! THANK YOU!!!
You’re the best Dan.. Wish you narrated audiobooks.
I've rewatched this episode a few times, one of my favorites
Appreciate Carlin's storytelling ability. Carlin really gets into it to a dork level degree with annunciations and tones which he effortlessly falls into. shine on you beautifully excited fella
Love your work Dan
Might one of those of Phillip's daughter/grand-daughter Greek Warrior Princesses running around have been named Xena, perchance? THEN ... everything makes sense ...
Listening to this from the E.R with a severely snapped thumb... Still the best day ever!
I was just listening to the soundtrack to the Ridley Scott movie when I got the alert that this was posted. So happy right now!
What a talent you have to bring history alive ....
Amazing! This made my night!
Only history channel I can listen to without the slides and graphics. Love it.
Yes!!!!!!!! Finally a new podcast to add to the decade! Right up there with Wrath of the Khans and Prophets of Doom!
Thanks Dan!
Omg what is this .. I get more excited for drops here than any other channel cause it’s so long in between uploads to his UA-cam page and the quality is amazing..if this is real 3 1/2 hours Carlin is the man!! Thanks
Tripple AAA....
Awesome, As Always!
Was not expecting this! Awesome!!
Oh Jesus every time one of these pops up I know I’ve got a months worth of thinking to do. Painfotainment sparked a mountain of thoughts and discussion points
Freaking awesome! I love Hardcore History. Dan please produce another great series on either the Roman Republic or the Roman Empire.
Thank you mr carlin
love your channel!
Another fantastic episode!
“Some people miss those shows; some people don’t miss those shows”
I will literally listen to anything you put out.
Hope you've been doing okay Dan.. your the best
So happy to catch a new one
3 Hour Hardcore History Addendm!!! Finally somthing to listen to at work!
You have another fan from Paraguay here, I enjoy the Three hours and 30 minutes. Practicing Origami here and learning a lot about history. Thank you for your existence.
Love your content man
omg new carlin podcast. i have to finish the king of kings part 3 asap. dan has a way with ancient history
You are the greatest, Dan
I love your in-depth look at history. A look at the history and take over of the nation of Hawaii is more than compelling. I would love to hear your take on the hardcore history of Hawaii.
Everyone please give Dan a like to show him how much we appreciate this
he wants a dollar. just one dollar per episode.
2:13:03 Alexander is dead. Everybody is dead. Tone sounds concluding. Out of curiosity, switch back to tab to see how much longer is left.
*sees more than an hour to go*
I love Dan Carlin podcasts.
This is excellent! Love ancient history. A great book on this stuff is Philip Freeman's Alexander The Great
The first highlight of my 2020.
Great work!
thanks dan just finished my 20th relisten of everything you still have for free, this is sick.
