This is a good thread anon, but I'll have to stop you there as we're running short on time.

the one where harold bloom and jacqueline rose throw the fuck down is 10/10

>>1711845
Fuck off, he does in 45 minutes what Dan Carlin takes 12 hours to do.

>tfw listening to based Melvyn BTFOing my scary as shit professor

That was a good feel

>>1711865
Which one?

Melvyn is based and I like his no-nonsense attitude. I remember in the one about aristocracy he just shot down one of his guests who asked for his opinions on the aristocrats he's known and met.

>"And so this is my length introduction to this week's topic, where we'll be looking at X, Y and the consequences of their actions during the War of Z. With me today are Professor Chad Thundercock of Roidman University, Doctor Dingus from Cuck's College London, and Lady Amanda Hugandkiss, author of the seminal biography 'X and Y: Why?'. Professor Thundercock, what can you tell us about the opening salvos of the War of Z? Set the scene for us."
>"Well, I-"
>"SORRY BUT I'M AFRAID I'LL HAVE TO STOP YOU THERE CHAD AS WE'RE RUNNING SHORT ON TIME."

Why does this guy have so many stuttering guests?

>>1711845
Thank you all and here comes our producer to stop us on our way.
>We have coffee or tea for you

>>1712687
*shoo us on our way

>>1711384
The XFM show with Ricky, Steve and Karl. Not very historical but you do learn a lot about monkeys

>>1712656
Academics are nerds that read and write all day.

Have you never been to a conference or colloquium? Managing to speak coherently is par for the course.

>mfw I didn't read the terms of use

>>1712656
how about him himself breathing so hard into the mic it gets distracting

>>1711384
this is great anon. his passive-aggressiveness keeping the guests on track is great

Melvyn is a literal god and I am hype af for the end of summer break on Thursday

>>1713263
he needs to lean away from the mic to breathe in

>>1713263
I thought I was the only one who heard that! It's like when a faucet drips at night and you get used to it and it slowly morphs from annoying to weirdly comforting.

>that one episode where some revisionist cuckold feminist starts crying about Melvyn being a cultural chauvinist for thinking there might have been a good reason why brits were the ones to have an industrial revolution while everyone else sat on their hands

>>1713244
You absolute madman

>>1712532

0/10, everyone knows the last person melvyn introduces is the first one he asks to speak

>>1713771
God, that woman annoyed me so much, I'm glad the Melvster called her out on it.

History of the Crusades podcast is comfy as fuck.

Wish i had an Australian reading me history as i fell to sleep irl.

>>1713771

SOURCE.

>>1714799
Industrial revolution part one or two I think

>>1712119
No way. I like them both but Carlin clearly has 100x the depth.
How much of that factor is due simply to time is up to the listener, I suppose.

>>1715144
This. Carlin is a fucking historical genius. A scholar par excellence. Are you seriously gonna fucking tell me some radio host knows more than someone who actually fucking studies history?

>>1715151

Dan Carlin has a BA. Melvin invites professors who are leading experts in their respective fields.

>>1715151
That's not what I meant and you know it.
Host aside, saying that a 45min round table has more depth than a 12 hour show is idiotic.

>>1715042
It was in part one. What a great episode.

>>1715177
Carlton obviously has more depth, but he also often makes basic mistakes and uncritically accepts outdated or biased interpretations. 90% of what he does is good, and I love his shows, but IoT blows him out of eh water in terms of scholarship and rigor.

>>1715538
Autocorrect, obviously I meant Carlin lol
