Steppe Stories-The Afghan girl, November 23, 2008
Reviewer: gaquilina
The excellent podcast on the Scythians (soft, not hard "c") mentions the now world-famous picture of the Afghan girl who appeared on the cover of National Geographic. Her name is Sharbat Gulam and she was actually photographed in 1984 (not the 70s as stated in the podcast) and rediscovered 17 years (and four daughters) later by Steve McCurry, the photographer who captured her haunting eyes. Her story is that of a proud and tragic people.
Best of the Breed, August 20, 2008
Reviewer: J.Weatherman
The most exciting day of most months is when I plug in my iPod and find a new "Hardcore History" podcast snaking through the various tubes of the internets into my iTunes... I save them for when I go to bed and immerse myself in Mr. Carlin's engaging, insightful, entertaining and informative ability to connect the infinite dots... this podcast will teach you more about current events than any news channel. History repeats, and we are lucky to have him to remind us of that fact. A 10!
extremely original, December 19, 2007
Reviewer: AnneTheMan
Dan Carlin's Hardcore History is an extremely original history podcast in that it takes the listener through the facts and engages in analysis, comparative narration and as such makes a unique attempt to connect us with history
Interesting and informative, June 13, 2007
Reviewer: Jason_D_Ashley
The "talk-show" format keeps me gripped to the topic like no other podcast I've listened too. Subjects are interesting and discussion is paced in a way that doesn't result in mental fade-out. If Mr. Carlin is reading from a prewritten script, you wouldn't know it by his presentation. The only possible complaint I might have would be that his shows do not come out frequently enough.
