Dan, you are wonderful. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have had some very trying times in recent months and although there are some charming podcasts out there - it is only yours which can pull me up and out of a slump. Your wit, fierce intelligence and most importantly, approachability, make me feel like I’m sat with an interesting and learned FRIEND and as soppy as this message is - I want you to know just how valued you and your hard work are.
Thank you Mr. Carlin for your work. I am thankful to have found your channel. Have a great year.

Ultimately, the problem is the walls that the studios have up, and the way it takes to get over them. If a person has a good idea and they send it in as a script, it's sent back unread with the label "No unsolicited materials." This means it has to be submitted by an agent. So you send it to an agent and they send it back unread with the label "No unsolicited materials." This means it has to be submitted to them by a manager. So you send it to a manager and they send it back unread with the label "No unsolicited materials." So how do you get it solicited. Well, that's where "it's who you know" comes in. It all becomes about relationships and socializing your way to "the right people." You have to get yourself seen by them, then liked by them, and you have to remain in their good graces. This means kissing their asses and never calling them out on anything. This is how sexual harassment and those sorts of things happened, because plenty of people see it, but the ones who call it out are blacklisted and can never get their projects seen again. Those who do play ball; who help cover up misdeeds and hang around only "the right people" finally get their projects seen, and those are what are chosen for movies. So the bottom line is, the skills it takes to get your films made are not the abilities to tell a good and original story; they are about socializing with the "right" people. And by the time you get through all of that, you're too exhausted to come up with an original story, so you just retell an old one at a time when these social walls were not quite as tightly built.

It isn't just script writing. When you look at background of various child actors/actresses that graduate to larger roles. Those from UK are mostly all from theater where you have to prove yourself, vs the US in which a disproportionate number are the children of actors, models, action stars.

This was my first time listening to your work and I'm totally won over by your style and passion. Got yourself a new subscriber and fan.

Good voice, good cadence, clear speech, good volume + Interesting history = all around excellent storytelling. Couldn't ask for better!
I've listened to a bunch of your podcast while working the kitchen - so i miss a lot. But your episodes on ww1, it's preludes and also your episode on torture and death penalties have really shifted my perspective and it's very humbling.
This channel is sooo under appreciated! I get that the episode length scares many of the TikTok generation away. But my god, the work that must go into each of these videos! I love it all, thanks so much Dan. These videos are a real treasure trove.
I'm a potter and welder. Doesn't seem to matter the task, Dan is always right there in my ear, making me re-think the world. I am so grateful THANK YOU Dan (& team)!!!
Thank you so much Dan, you are a treasure and your book was awesome!
I’ve been stuck around 1:24:00 - 1:35:00 for nearly a week. Love this podcasts because it’s so interesting and it has put me to sleep so consistently. Who needs sleep medicine when you have Dans soothing voice?.. 10/10
Enjoying this on a rainy cold Saturday.
Damn, it's been months since I've seen new Hardcore History uploaded to YT. Can't wait to get into this one.
A Dan Carlin video a must watch as always
Dan I want to tell you that I love everything you have done, I listened to you for months.
Amazing! This made my night!
I'm new to podcasts at the core... dan carlin woooh!
We love that you fail on keeping it short. Your podcast is pure drama and thought.
I'm a new Dan Carlin fan and I've listened to so many of his podcasts on Stitcher and I'm running out of episodes so I started searching looking for more material and look what I find! Also, his site has so much on there that I wasn't even aware of. I listen almost every night in bed while I drift off to sleep and I need more! I love what you're doing Dan and you've taught me so much! THANK YOU!!!
This is something I thought I'd never be interested in but here I am. And a Dan Carlin movie is something I never thought I needed, but I look forward to it.
Thanks Dan!
Love the new book Dan. Almost finished with it. The Bronze Age Collapse is fascinating.
You’re the best Dan.. Wish you narrated audiobooks.
Only history channel I can listen to without the slides and graphics. Love it.
How would I fill my empty hours with out hardcore history! Your doing Gods work Dan!
love your channel!
Thank you mr carlin
Omg what is this .. I get more excited for drops here than any other channel cause it’s so long in between uploads to his KZread page and the quality is amazing..if this is real 3 1/2 hours Carlin is the man!! Thanks
“Some people miss those shows; some people don’t miss those shows” I will literally listen to anything you put out.
Can’t wait to listen to this tomorrow while driving. Knowing there’s a Hardcore History show out, but waiting for 2 days to hear it is damn near torture.
