Hardcore History | Recent release: Supernova In The East 3
- Thread starter More_Badass
- Start date
I like how Dan started Addendum in order to do shorter episodes than the main podcast, yet this latest instalment is two hours long. Lol
Podcast plane episode. He's the podcast narrator. I can't believe I didn't make that connection until now.
Apparently in the second episode he's the podcast voice that Adam Scott is hearing.
Anything from Dan lately? Last Addendum was in June, and Supernova in the East II was in January.
He said on Twitter that October is worst case scenario for Supernova Part III. So maybe we'll get it by end of year.
Oh man, it's going to be nice. I haven't had a history podcast since History on Fire went to Luminary.
I recommend Mike Duncans podcasts! Its a bit more dry in presentation than Carlin but he manages to stick to a schedule and are high quality.

I don't even know if I listened to Part 2. That's the hard part about such a long wait between episode. Do you guys relisten when a new one comes out?
Dan was on Real Time last night and I don't usually watch the show unless it has a guest on that I enjoy hearing from. I was excited to watch it as I really miss his current events podcast Common Sense. He didn't really get to talk much but the times he did I felt were less condemning of the Trump administration's actions than I thought they would be.
One point he brought up was the DOJ being an arm of the president's administration not being something new. I feel like there is a difference between past administrations use of the DOJ than the Trump administration's uses have been and currently are.
I really hope we get a new Common Sense soon as I would like to hear his thoughts on what is currently going on in more depth than this show allowed for.

Dan's Common Sense has essentially been on hiatus since the Trump administration started. He seems like the type of political pundit that loves to talk about structures and what ifs but that is not willing to talk about those same issues the moment that they actually take place in real life.
His political opinions always seemed staggeringly incoherent. Like his big thing was campaign finance and the corruption of the system by money, but he didn't care about inequality?
He mentioned something about Trump and his lack of episodes on the matter in an Addendum episode (late 2017). Basically saying something to the effect of he doesn't know what te fuck is going on and doesn't just want to throw stuff out there.
It's been way too long since part 2, so I am re-listening to part 2 first in order to prep myself.
Good. I was a little letdown how he spent so much detail going into the attack, then when he gets to the second wave and potential 3rd wave, he blows right past them. I hope he talks a bit more about them.
Just so everyone interested in Dan's book is aware, he goes on a long side road talking about child abuse throughout history. I couldn't really handle it when I was last listening so just wanted to give a heads up to people sensitive to such things.
Given the kinds of things he usually talks about it's not that surprising but just wanted people to be aware.
(Also sorry to anyone who gets disappointed by the bump.)

Glad for the bump because I forgot to come back and discuss the 3rd part! What did everyone think? Personally, I felt it started strong, but it went downhill when he started talking about MacArthur. MacArthur was unique, odd, and hard to pin down. Dan wanted us to know this, yet he fell into the pit himself of being all over the place with MacArthur without a solid foundation that Dan came off like he was just rambling about the man. I didn't really get a coherent story or idea out of the whole thing? When he moved away from MacArthur, I felt the episode improve again, but it left me wondering what the hell I was supposed to take away from the MacArthur.
