- So of course I screwed up the announcement post for the new Hardcore History by not including g the art of Erich Sayers that goes with the show. So...here it is now
- Hi all. I know it's been a long time. Sorry for the wait. Hope it's halfway decent. "Happy Hardcore History Day". dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3...
- I know it's not what you're waiting for. But here's an absolutely fascinating conversation with a nuclear history expert about Harry Truman and a completely new way to look at his role in the dropping of the atomic bombs. dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3...
- Ok, new Common Sense just released. It's timely and pithy and hopefully you think it worth your time (and mine). We called it: "Who's the Boss?" dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3...
- We will release a new Common Sense show sometime in the next few hours about the illegal order question and the "treason" statements by the President currently in the headlines. It'll be a pithy one. After all, I've got Alexander the Great stuff to work on...
- Thank you all so much for coming out last night and talking with me Portland! You guys are the best.
- Six days until (what I think is) the last live event I'm doing in 2025. Join me if you're in the Portland, Oregon area on the evening of September 12th! www.etix.com/ticket/p/943...
- So, my last scheduled live event for 2025 is in my home away (but not too far)from home Portland, Oregon. The last one we did there sold out...hope we do that again! If you want to go, we'd love to have you. www.etix.com/ticket/p/943...

- Just touched down in Houston. Looking forward to tonight's show! If you want to join me, tickets are available via our website at www.dancarlin.com
- Thanks Austin! You were FANTASTIC! Great crowd, so enthusiastic. Houston tomorrow night!
- A few hours from showtime in Austin...looking forward to seeing you guys!
- En Route to Austin for the show tomorrow night, then Houston on Saturday and (other than Portland in Sept,) I think that'll probably be it for the year. Hope to see you! Tickets available from www.dancarlin.com
- Robert, I'm gonna use your post as an opportunity to thank all the people who came out to the event. I can't always do the handshaking stuff...different venues,different rules...but I wanted you all to know how much I appreciate it. It was a great night too.
- Just got the word that Ben Wright of "the 15 Minute History podcast" will moderate our Aug 16th Houston show in addition to the Aug 15th Austin event. So for both shows I'd wager that means "WW1 is back on the menu boys!" Tix available at www.dancarlin.com
- Lord...they're babies. Except Paul Cook. He looks to be in his early 40s.😂
- "Darkly Hilarious" is an interesting way to put it. Whoever thought THAT would be the aspect of those shows to make them later seem dated.
- "In every age the vilest specimens of human nature are to be found among demagogues." -Thomas Macaulay (1849)
- Atlanta and Raleigh were really fun. Thanks to all who came out! Met some great people. Austin and Houston (Aug 15th and 16th respectively) are next. Then one Portland show in Sept and that's it for the year I think. Tickets for those shows available at www.dancarlin.com
- Ok Raleigh! My first time here and I'm really looking forward to tonight's show. Hope y'all can make it!
- Atlanta, thank you all SO much for coming out tonight! You all were great. I'm such a fortunate person. My listeners have made my life...and it was so nice to shake some of your hands and tell you that face to face. Thank you!
- Thanks my friend! John ( www.johnroderick.com ) is great and we DID have a blast. He'll do Atlanta (tonight) and Raleigh with me tomorrow. Hope we live up to the hype! (Tix available at www.dancarlin.com ).
- The fabulous @johnroderick (on Instagram) will be the moderator (weird title) at the live event I'm doing in Atlanta (Aug 1) AND Raleigh (Aug 2). He did the same thing for me earlier this year in Seattle and it was awesome! Join us! (Tix available from www.dancarlin.com )
- Well...some variation of that might be in the cards. Certainly audience participation will go up!😂
- So if we don't end up with a moderator at one of these August Southern shows I'm doing, those in attendance may witness the invention of my new one-person show. Perhaps in real time. "Hardcore History" indeed. You won't want to miss that. It'll be a complete surprise for all of us.
- Checked the weather for my Aug 1 live event in Atlanta:expected to be down to 87 degrees with possible rain.Glad I missed this week's heat 😂 Hope you'll come out and help shape the night's narrative. I suspect some of "the deep questions" be on the agenda. www.ticketmaster.com/event/0E0062...
- Thanks TIME Magazine for including us in your too100 podcast of all time list! time.com/collections/...
- Reminder, i'll be in Raleigh on August 2.If you're nearby, come and join me! www.ticketmaster.com/event/2D0062... Also,I'll be in Atlanta, Austin,Houston and Portland this summer as well. Tix available from dancarlin.com

- Well,this has made me think we must have term limits. Maybe only a single term. I realize we lose tons of experience that way (and we do), but so much of what's killing us in terms of courage is the craven willingness to sacrifice anything for re-election. Maybe better to just take it off the table?
- Reminder that I'll be out in Atlanta August 1. Why not come on out and join me? Hope to see you there! www.ticketmaster.com/event/0E0062...
- ...um...yeah. Strong agree. It's my only silver lining outcome for everything we're going through now. A post-Watergate, presidential powers limitation reform moment (as happened then) spurred on by another power-hungry presidency. Sometimes reform only happens after bad things do.
- Can anyone think of a good historical analogy for this Trump-Musk thing we have going on?
- Just released a Hardcore History Addendum with the son of famed U.S. Marine (and author) Eugene Sledge. Sledge wrote one of the best combat memoirs from the American side of the Second World War. His son has written the definitive follow up! It's a great talk. dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3...
