Roman Mars

Criminal
Genre: Personal Journals
Release Date: October 30, 2014

Dan Carlin - Dan Carlin's Hardcore History artwork Dan Carlin's Hardcore History
Dan Carlin
Genre: History
Release Date: August 17, 2014

In "Hardcore History" the very unconventional Dan Carlin takes his "Martian", outside-the-box way of thinking and applies it to the past. Was Alexander the Great as bad a person as Adolf Hitler? What would Apaches with modern weapons be like? Will our modern civilization ever fall like civilizations from past eras? This is a difficult-to-classify show that has a rather sharp edge. It's not for everyone. But the innovative style and approach has made "Dan Carlin's Hardcore History" a New Media hit.
