I have a problem with some of Dan Carlin's podcasts. I go somewhere and listen to the podcast and when I get there I'll just sit in the car for a few minutes while I continue listening. Work, store, home, etc. I just have to pull myself away. Only have 19 minutes left in the latest one and I know I'll be in a slight funk when it's over.

How can he not pronounce Moresby correctly?! I've never heard of Port "Moesby"...

Unless I'm missing something, but I've been studying the Pacific War for dang near 40 years.



This is addressed in the first 5 minutes of the new episode.
I happened to catch his "explanation" the day it came out. I was surprised to learn his dad or step-dad was on the Essex during the Korean War--I might have to try and make sure he knows about her and her air groups' contribution in the last year-and-a-half of the war: it was unmatched by any carrier of any nation, especially for the Okinawa campaign...

I finally got around to listening to this series. I don't like to wait for each episode to come out.

I just got through the part about Pearl Harbor. Tough to listen to. Hearing the first hand accounts really hits home I think.

Hopefully we'll have a new episode soon. Been 5 ish months since the last one was dropped.

I thought that there were only 5 episodes? I'm only on the beginning of number 3.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but it was originally scheduled to be 5 but due to material got a little drawn out and there is enough for 6 now?

Just listened to 5. He said it would be 6 total. I enjoyed it. I even found a couple of new thoughts/perspectives in the series.

Lol, same here. Hoped were up.

Crazy he has been on a two episode a year pace going back a few years
And it seems he has dropped off his addendum series too. Does he have another job or is it just going that well for him podcast wise?

Dan Carlin put out a Hardcore History Addendum this week. If you haven't listened to these, they're good but different. In then he interviews someone. In this one he interviews Malcolm Gladwell about his new book Bomber Mafia.

Anyway, In the Addendum he mentions that he's working on Supernova in the East 6. He said it's going to be a huge episode.

He's got to get thru Peleliu, Iwo, and Okinawa, that's quite a slog and I can only imagine it's going to be a really long episode.

It definitely was interesting, I listened to it last weekend and recommend it if you're into any of WWII/Air Force/Warfare history (which I assume you are if on this board).

His older episodes come off the podcast list of available episodes, but they're all usually available for purchase on itunes if you're an apple guy.

Or you can get them from his website too I think

Really like his content as all others have mentioned, but it's quite annoying to be listening at a normal volume and suddenly Carlin is nearly shouting into the mic. and blows my ears off! I mean, it's one thing to emphasize something, but he's taking it a bit far.

Small complaint I know. Content is great.

Thanks for bumping the thread and getting all of our hopes up for a new episode drop.

FWIW, I just sent a message to see if he wants to include information about his dad's (in Korea) and my uncle's (in WW2) ship, and it's incredible cruise off Okinawa--the greatest combat cruise of any carrier in history. Heck, Essex had arguably the greatest combat record of any carrier in history.

I figure I'm way too late, but what the hell...

So I very recently discovered Dan Carlin and HOLY **** IS THIS STUFF GOOD
Thomas Little

I'd highly recommend going back and buying his earlier podcasts.

Blueprint to Armageddon (takes you through World War 1)
Ghosts of the Ostfont (Eastern front in WW2)
Wrath of the Khans (Genghis Khan through a couple of heirs, doesn't really get to Kublai)
Punic Nightmares and Death Throes of the Republic (both about the Roman Empire)

These are all fantastic series that are well worth the $1 per show. I use an apple phone and it's pretty easy to buy the shows on his website and download them to your phone.

Highly agree, they deliver great value for merely $1 per!

If I had to listen to just one of his podcast series, it would be Blueprint for Armageddon, hands down. It was eye opening and great to devote more in depth learning and thought to WWI than I had before.

First I was going to say stop posting on this thread because I can only take so much rejection. Then I saw your post and searched on my podcast app for apple and didn't see it, so naturally I was heartbroken. Then I looked up Dan on Twitter and he said (about an hour ago) that it was released. So I'm happy again. Hopefully the apple podcast app has it up soon so I can listen to it driving home from work in the AM.

I just recently got into these and finished Supernova V about a week ago, so I'm spoiled. I'm going to go back and buy the older stuff.

Did the statement he made toward the beginning about the Japanese invasion of China leading to the victory of the Communists there strike anyone else? It really made me think about how both WW1 and WW2 very well could be the root cause of global imperial communism.
