Our planet Earth is only a speck in the solar system, which is a tiny cluster of rocks orbiting a star in the Milky Way, which counts among one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe, which is expanding at an ever-increasing rate. I'm sure you've heard it plenty of times already but let me repeat it again: the universe is big, incomprehensibly big. All in all, Dan Carlin's Hardcore History is a 59-episode podcast that will enthral history lovers and even interest those who usually have an aversion to events from a bygone era. In the three-part 'King of Kings', Carlin takes his listeners to ancient Persia and Greece, with stories of Xerxes, Spartans, Immortals, Alexander the Great, scythed chariots, and several of the greatest battles in history. The six-part 'Blueprint for Armageddon' series recounts the story of the two World Wars - how they came about, who fought whom and why, and the endless destruction they brought upon the planet. The Hardcore History library is a collection of paid and free in-depth research pieces that span several hours of audio time, each. Part analyst and part storyteller, Carlin tackles centuries-old subjects with refreshing perspectives, diving deep into the matter at heart and establishing historical context wherever he can. When journalist and broadcaster Dan Carlin talks about history, he makes you sit up and pay attention. History, as we all know, can either be incredibly fascinating or unbearably boring it just depends on how the story's being told.

Bergdahl was held captive by the Taliban in Afghanistan for almost five years and his return was cause for widespread celebration. In season two, Koenig goes after a much bigger fish - the celebrated return and controversial conviction of US soldier Bowe Bergdahl. Through the course of 12 episodes, Koenig talks to the residents of Baltimore County, sifts through police reports and documents, and listens to hours of trial testimony as she tries to discover if Syed (who always maintained his innocence) was guilty of the crime. In the first season, the Serial team looks at the controversial case of Adnan Syed - a high-school student who was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of his ex-girlfriend in Maryland in 1999. There are currently two seasons of Serial available.
