Its ok guys, Dan's still alive 👍
Thank God. All is right in the world 🌎
I was getting worried! I love Dans stuff for long drives
Not a give. These days.
First time?
@@Reblwitoutacause Damn, I hope he didn't take the blood clot shot
Hardcore History is like a gift you get a few times a year when you least expect. Dan is great.
When I was a kid we had like 100 networks to choose from. Now everyone just watches what Joe Rogan watches.
@@Nat3_H1gg3rsand its better
@@Nat3_H1gg3rsdefinitely a bot
It’s been said before, but I feel compelled to say it again: Dan is a genuine American treasure.
Not just an American treasure. To many around the world
@@douglaskillock3537we all love him
@@douglaskillock3537 definitely agree. I just meant it in the sense that he’s from the US
@@drewcutaia4982 Of course. Dan is one of yours, although you could say an original who happens to hail from your homeland. One thing is for sure, Dan's colours don't run!! Whatever, we salute him and all who love him wherever they may be from
So are those ice baths. They are trending hard. Thanks Joe Rogan
The Scythians' favorite kind of music was "Dub Steppe".
This man got me into nomadic/tribal history.
5:22 Conversation begins
I can't express my joy at seeing this. A follow up to one of my favorite HH episodes of all time? I guess I know what I'm doing tonight. 😊
Dan is back! At any given time every second of my life I'm just sitting here waiting for Dan to upload
I recently finished re-listening Wrath of Khans yet again, so this interview was perfectly timed.
I'll never forget the first time listening to your work, blew me away! 15 years later and I still get so excited when you release new episodes.
Always when I expect it least. Thanks, Dan.
always brings joy when Dan puts out any kind of show. Thanks!
Hell ya Dan is back!!!!
My favorite dance at any wedding is the Eurasian Steppe. 🎉
Great interview and one of my favourite aspects of history also. Just a small correction, towards the end Kenneth mentions Kyrgyzstan being the only non Turkic speaking country in that region. I'm sure he meant to say Tajikistan.
Cool! My favorite history voice is back to listen to.
Always a welcomed topic of conversation with my adult son. "Hey, did you see that Carlin has a new Hardcore History episode?" Then many more conversations that follow based on the content. Thank you, Dan. You have spawned many great conversations.
Today is gonna be a good day, thank you, Sir!
Very excited that Dan linked up with Dr. Harl. His Great Courses/Teaching Company lecture series are amazing and I may be the only person in the world who preordered his new book.
Dan please open yourself a Patreon! The quality of your content is unparalleled.
Knew I recognized the name Kenneth Harl he’s taught a bunch of history courses for the great courses. They are excellent.
The steppe region is so damn interesting to me. I love the episodes of the Eurasian Steppe.
The Eurasian steppe is so damn fascinating its great to see it get more attention considering how important it's been to world history
It's a vast open space people aren't really aware of. East or West
This was truly a pleasure to digest while I work in the kitchen this morning.
I have a strict don’t join anything policy which I immediately broke to subscribe to the substack. Such is the power of hardcore history.
You can almost hear Dan's silence when he is listening to some spicy history...
There is not another drop I get more excited for!!!!!
Thank you for the show, Dan! Can’t wait to listen to it tomorrow after work.
Great episode! You can tell Dan is very enthusiastic about this topic.
What a gold mine! Thank you for introducing Kenneth Harl. And welcome back, Dan.
God I wish this was 4-6 hours.
Man, I love this guy's work!
Always love stuff about the steppe tribes. Thanks!
What a treat, cheers Dan.
Yes, this book will be on my wishlist
Dr. Harl’s lectures are a delight. Thank you for bringing his new book to my attention!
What a day.
Awesome, and thank you Dan!
Much needed hardcore history thank you Dan getting me through the work day

Just in time for me to fall asleep to, thank you Dan!
Dan I love your work and have been a listener for a number of years. Thank you for your dedication to producing such excellent content. This is shameless of me but I am hoping that one day you will cover the Crusades. I think it would make for a fascinating series!
Another mindblowing episode
Always a good time when Dan uploads

What?
RCR mentioned you in a review video some long time ago ... ever since I found you out, you're definitely the best historian out there ever ... next to Mart Felton. Your knowledge is very appreciated, and thank you for the enthusiasm that you show. Carry on and share the wisdom and the passion about the underlooked aspects of history.😊
In case you don't know he has many other podcasts avaliable for purchase on his website. He removes shows from his KZhead channel after a certain amount time unfortunately
Love this!

The last time I was listening to an episode of HH I was slaving away in an underpaid, dead-end job. Now I'm working for a much better employer for a much higher salary with prospects in my future. The lesson is clear: Step 1: Listen to HH Step 2: ??? Step 3: Profit
