Dan Carlin has a great radio voice, and is an entertaining presenter. Hardcore history is really only okay on the history front though. Plus they are relatively shallow with how short they are.

I think this is a fair take but it works great as a gateway drug!

I am curious what are your recommendations though. Always eager for expanding my horizon.

Revolutions Podcast is good and well researched (Especially later seasons).

The History of the Germans Podcast is really great (100+ episodes from Ottonians just to Habsburgs, so its pretty well in depth).

History of France Podcast is good, its from a University professor, but not overly academic but well researched.

History of England Podcast is good as well, starting with Anglo Saxon and Post Roman England. He uses a lot of high quality and primary sources.

A History of Italy podcast starts with the end of Rome and is 200 episodes to get to 1500.

I like in depth, single topic podcasts as you can tell as opposed to the podcasts that jump around topics.

I think Carlin himself would be the first to admit that, even does so in the intro to many episodes. I think he already suffers from the length of some of his series.
