This was excellent! One of the most twisted historical events I had never heard of.

Comparing other history podcasts to Hardcore History is impossible: Dan has a voice, an eye for the dramatic and an analytical style that allows for the most information to come across as entertainment while still holding all of the impact (if not more) of a world history course at the college level.
Dan has a focus on the human experience that makes your stomach turn as you put yourself in the shoes of our ancestors. Imagining being in the crowd and viewing the executions described in this podcast is enough to make most horror movie fans twist in their seats.

Definitely my favorite show Dan has made so far. The extreme mania expressed by the people of the time is extraordinary and fascinating.

This is by far the most disturbing episode that I’ve listened to so far… absolutely brilliant, but unsettling and graphic. Approach with caution!

I am in no way familiar with Dan Carlin, never heard of him, never listened to him, until two days ago. It may just be the best discovery I have made in a while. I don’t want to talk too much about the content as the description will tell you enough, but two quotes that came up while listening were: “This is what happens when you give a microphone to an expert who is passionate.” and “There are no boring subjects if the teacher is a good storyteller.”
I don’t like history that much. But I love this story told by Dan. I’m happy I haven’t finished this episode yet, and I’m happy that there are so many more episodes to go. It’s brilliant.
