History is exciting and we have so much to learn from it. I certainly fall in the school of thought that human nature has not changed much in the last 20 thousand years, and reading or listening about the fall of Carthage or the Black Plague has a poignant relevance to the world we live in today.
My friend, Ken Dean, pointed me towards a podcast series created by Dan Carlin entitled, Hardcore History. Frankly, I would venture to say it could be described as excellent. Dan's energy and excitement for history shines in every noun, verb, and dangling participle. The podcast is free (as in beer), but a suggested donation of a "buck a show" is mentioned. Listen now and contribute when ever it is convenient or your remember. He also has some great interviews with several different historians. I have listened to all of his content (some of it twice) and I am eagerly anticipating new content.
