Anyone else a fan? I just started getting into him, and have been listening to his podcasts. Really good stuff. I started with King of Kings because ancient military stuff has always been an interest of mine. I need an outlet for that kind of thing, because my wife does not share my interest in the slightest.

Anyway, he covers quite a few topics

I would but I don't ever feel like I can listen for like 4 hours.

I love it. I listened to Blueprint to Armageddon (I love WW1) last fall during harvest and King of Kings this year.

I'd really like to do Wrath of the Khans at some point. Maybe save it for planting.

Joe Rogan had him on a couple months ago. Very good podcast. Carlin's an interesting guy regardless of topic.

Well, I'm super excited, having just sort of discovered him. I feel like a kid in a candy store seeing all of the content he's got (admittedly a nerdy kid in a pretty nerdy candy store, but still)
 
Wrath of Khan is great, I listened to it on a long road trip and it made time fly by.
 
I haven't gotten into podcasts for whatever reason (probably because the only time I listen to things is in the car, and I'm never thinking about downloading stuff to listen to in the car later). Sounds like this would be right up my alley though.

I was like you in the past. If I didn't spend 3-4 months a year sitting in a cab for 16-18 hours a day, I probably wouldn't find time for them.

If you spend a lot of time driving or solitarily operating equipment, it's great.

Hehehe, old guy here.
I also haven't been a podcast guy for the same reason, but I know I'm old.

Love it. The first 4 episodes of the World War 1 series are great. It's worth it to go back and listen through the catalog and you can see a person improving at something they are passionate about right in front of your ears.
 
So I found it in iTunes....how much space do these take up? I'm thinking about subscribing, but don't want it to eat up the rest of the space (I'm bad about deleting stuff off).

They only come out like once every 4 months so you should be okay. Just set your podcast app to only keep the newest one.
