Viking kings are swapping Thor for Christ, but don’t confuse baptism with mercy. In Twilight of the Æsir II, Dan Carlin dives into the chaos of pagan warlords becoming Christian monarchs: Bluetooth, Forkbeard, and holy brutality.

Hardcore History 70 – Twilight of the Æsir II

Pagan Viking Sea Kings spend the 10th and 11th centuries morphing into Christian monarchs. But with rulers like Harald Bluetooth and Svein Forkbeard it’s debatable whether things will be any less horrific for Scandinavia’s neighbors.

Hardcore History 73 – Mania for Subjugation III – Dan Carlin

Thor’s Angels ain’t your dad’s history class. Dan Carlin drags you through the “Dark Ages” with gods, Germans, and Jesus riding shotgun. What started as a podcast became a full-blown audiobook riot.

In Twilight of the Æsir I, Carlin picks up where Thor’s Angels left off—right as the old gods start fading. It’s the Viking Age in freefall, and Christianity’s kicking the door in.

Hardcore History 60 The Celtic Holocaust – Dan Carlin

I was listening to an episode of #HardcoreHistory Addendum with Mike Rowe as the guest, and the conversation touched on fast food work, with Rowe suggesting the #American minimum wage shouldn't be raised, but that more people should be promoted out of entry level positions more quickly, and Dan suggesting that you couldn't raise the wages of fast food workers without Big Macs becoming unaffordable.

Compare Australia and the USA.

Shattered Sword (about the battle of Midway) and Indianapolis have been on my list for years since listening to the Dan Carlin #HardcoreHistory series on imperial Japan. Moon Shot is a classic, of course.

I have only heard a few #MLK speeches and sermons in full, but I have read the text of many of these, and they are powerful. Very much looking forward to listening to these on my walks.

Can't imagine it would ever happen but #JoeRogan (and lots of his bro world) loves #DanCarlin. Get him on #JRE with any of the #MAGA elites that Joe now has access to. Trump, Elon, Vance, Tucker etc. Break the spell. #CommonSense #HardcoreHistory

What's Good for the Goose - Common Sense with Dan Carlin

Common Sense with Dan Carlin is an independent look at politics and current events from popular New Media personality Dan Carlin. Carlin's self-described "Martian" viewpoints infuse each episode with a political alien's take on the world around us and the problems it faces. It's a smart, unique (and admittedly U.S.-centric) program that doesn't dumb down the information or analysis for the slowest person in the room. Carlin's rapid-fire staccato voice has been compared to William Shatner after too many espressos. That, plus his penchant for making everyone in the audience mad at him eventually, makes for a witch's brew of a podcast that is not for everyone. But for those craving a deeper intellectual analysis, a less partisan approach and unpredictable outside-the-box revelations, Common Sense with Dan Carlin is a feast for the mind.
