Finished Carlins WW1 history Blueprint for Armageddon. Finally got used to his mannerisms and voice. Really awesome stuff but I had to space it out with happy podcasts because its such a nasty event.

Now im onto Ghosts of Ostfront and I have a pressing question: what in the world is that awful sound effect that goes on for 30 minutes? I'm old enough to know that these are the *bad guys*, its just really distracting that there's this mood-setting background music when words do enough of the storytelling.

Please tell me this goes away soon.

e:this is like the 4th time ive page sniped this week

e: wowie after some more listening I think this is airplanes taking off or his air conditioner humming in his studio.

That's me! It was assembled by hand from thousands of short clips I took from Carlin podcasts. There's a making-of video here:

There's also a video version built from goon contributions here:

If anyone listens to The Trail Went Cold, can you tell me if the host every gets better at being a host? The content is interesting but this guy’s lack of radio voice is really grating.

It’s like a podcast hosted by Emo Phillips’ Canadian cousin who smacks his lips between each sentence.

I am starting from the very beginning, so I am still in the 2016 episodes

I don't really notice mouth noises much, so I can't comment on that, but his voice stays the same. I like the show but he's a little too in love with Unsolved Mysteries and is trying to match the voice style.

I think it improves after the first early episodes, although I couldn't pin a date down. He still says "and then... The trail.. Went cold." in a dumb way, but that's pretty minor. I agree that he's overly fixated with Unsolved Mysteries cases as well.

I always prefer premodern. He likes steppe peoples so maybe... well, the fact that it's requested means probably not, but I'd love for a show about Timur's empire. Always gets neglected.

Oooh that could be good. He mentioned them during the Wrath of the Khans episodes. The Muslim empires were dealing with Crusader invasions in the west and Mongol invasions from the east, it wasn't a good time.

I also didn't finish Painfotainment, which is a first for me.

I could see any of the big European heavyweight matchups wars he hasn't done. Napoleon, thirty/hundred years war, siege of Vienna, etc.

If he does the crusades I hope it's a one-off on the Fourth Crusade, because it's the best/dumbest one.

Oh gently caress I'd love this.

After Destroyer of Worlds I got a hankering for more modern stuff. Having audio clips available from the era is really a boon I think, though I'm still a fan of Carlin's famous quote voice.

I'd like to see the Suez Crisis, Russo-Japan war, some part of the Russia Revolution (say foreign intervention in such) or even the Korean of Vietnam wars.
