Set us up with an RSS feed. We'd listen. :lol:
I prefer Common Sense to Free Domain Radio. I can't keep up with Molyneux.

I've never even listened to Common Sense and I already know it's better than FDR.

Excellent show. Carlin ought to just dump his other show and concentrate on the history podcast, which is one of the best on the net.

I like his other show. I see no reason to "dump it."
His podcast on Churchill sounds like a fucking sermon. (To be fair, I haven't finished it yet.)
EDIT: I stopped at the point where he was talking about Churchill "turning from a ugly duck to a swan, and started to shine." There is a great Mises quote about historians injecting subjective valuations into historical narrative, but I can't find it ATM. This guy's got a major hard-on for Churchill...
Are there any better history shows?
There are lots of mainstream history audiobooks and lectures, obviously. TTC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Teaching_Company)'s J. Rufus Fears (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Rufus_Fears) lecture called "History of Freedom (http://www.teach12.com/ttcx/coursedesclong2.aspx?pc=Professor&cid=480)" was pretty good. (I can't seem to find a good torrent link anymore though, you might have to pick one of those huge "all TTC lectures, part X" torrents and uncheck the ones you don't want.)
What sets Carlin apart is his ability to bring the subject alive and to place you into the times and events.
I think he's actually a libertarian who's scared of pissing off liberal and conservative listeners. . . I don't blame him he's got a certain (and very broad) demographic he has to deal with.

After 40 days and 40 nights of suspense, comes...
- Oct 30, 2008 - "Show 23 - Punic Nightmares III (http://dancarlinhh.libsyn.com/media/dancarlinhh/dchha23_Punic_Nightmares_III.mp3) - In one of the great displays of resiliency in all history, the Romans refuse to buckle under murderous Carthaginian pressure. Instead they recover, defeat and destroy Carthage, and conquer most of the Mediterranean.
(Yes, kudos to LCPLIC3 for beating me (http://bbs.freetalklive.com/index.php?topic=25033.0;topicseen) to it.)
Carlin would have made a great high school history teacher. Most of them just kill any interest in the subject by drilling students on dry dates and lists of politicians. Carlin puts you right there.
I had a similar professor in college. Mrs. Stein, who must have been 65 or so. She taught history from a human angle, and made you feel like she must have been there. Maybe she had been.
One story of hers stuck with me. Her father, a professor at the University of Chicago, had worked on the Manhattan Project. After much pleading, he was granted a few days off to visit home, but was sternly instructed NOT to visit his old campus. They didn't want him discussing the project with any of his old colleagues. Well, he was walking one day at home and happened to pass by the campus. He thought about going inside, but then a man stepped out from around a wall and said, "Uh, uh, Professor. No visiting the school, remember?"
Yes it is. That's a great idea. I'm restarting Punic Nightmares tonight.
It is really good. He'd better hurry up and get the second part out. I love that podcast.

Wow. O.k. That's some optimism you got going on there.
I absolutely love this guy, and ordered his archives on disk. I wanted to support him, and it is great to have all his old episodes available for listening. Anybody have any other recommendations for similar stuff? I found some UCal Berkeley discussion on WW1 that is from a history class that was pretty interesting, but don't have the link handy. It was easy to find on the google or startpage though.
- June 28, 2010 - "Show 34 - Death Throes of the Republic I (http://dancarlinhh.libsyn.com/media/dancarlinhh/dchha34_Death_Throes_of_the_Republic_I.mp3)" - The wars which elevate Rome to superpower status also sow the seed for the downfall of its political system. Money, slaves, ambition, political stalemate and class warfare prove to be a toxic, bloody mix.
Very riveting. I usually don't find history all that interesting.
I tried to listen to that and found it far too dry.I haven't listened to the latest podcasts but I found him very engaging.
