HH is a phenomenal podcast, so this one hurts. What do you guys think is his problem, jew, pedophile or just retarded boomer?
He's just a liberal with TDS
Can you give a few examples of episodes that you thought were good?
I like most of his stuff. Death Throes of the Republic is good. Mania for Subjugation, I think that's his latest, about Alexander the Great is good.
He's not a historian but he's good at theater of the mind
I'm tempted to, when I have the time, to get an authoritative book on Alexander the Great and compare it to the podcast, to see how good it actually is.
Nothing against this guy specifically, though he seems to deserve it. I'm just very skeptical of people speaking about a subject they haven't devoted their life to. While this is true for me of any subject I speak, no one is relying on me on information, and rightly so.
Do it, and you'll find that Carlin is not any type of historian.
Read Peter Green's book Alexander of Macedon 356-323 B.C.: A Historical Biography and you would see how superfiicial Carlin really is.
I wouldn't cite him in a graded paper either. But he tells a good story and does provide where his information comes from. He admits he is a storyteller and not a historian.
Anything involving ancient history is great. His episode on the Celtic holocaust is one of my favorites. I could go more in depth, but i'm at work right now
What is the Celtic holocaust? Caesar's campaigns?
Yes, that was his term for caesar's campaigns in western europe
Precisely.
Tiger of the East was phenomenal until the last half hour of the last episode. Worth a listen.
And as always Blueprint for Armageddon.

Human Resources & Boxing with Ghosts were his last good episodes (produced in 2021). Since then, it’s been woke, regurgitated, lazily researched, or all the above. His podcast started out slow in the 2000s, had a solid decade, now he’s coasting on his reputation.
Is Human Resources his slavery episode? Because that's the one he lost me on. It was bad enough repeating liberal propaganda about "generational trauma", but his story about Lincoln walking with a black friend and they come across a slave auction, at which point Lincoln starts shaking with rage, was too embarrassing to bare and I turned him off for good.
Lincoln wanted them repatriated back to Africa. He was mad of the auction, but his solution was better than letting them stay.
