In "Hardcore History" journalist and broadcaster Dan Carlin takes his "Martian", unorthodox way of thinking and applies it to the past. Was Alexander the Great as bad a person as Adolf Hitler? What would Apaches with modern weapons be like? Will our modern civilization ever fall like civilizations from past eras? This isn't academic history (and Carlin isn't a historian) but the podcast's unique blend of high drama, masterful narration and Twilight Zone-style twists has entertained millions of listeners.
Wonderfully crafted, well researched and brilliantly narrated history podcast. Highly recommend!!

Can’t find a single download
I purchased all of the episodes from iTunes Store and now I can’t listen to them , can’t redownload them and complaining on the official website leads to nowhere.

Feedback and query .
Really loved listening to the king of kings , episodes 56- 58 .
In the app , I am able to see from episodes 50 .
Are there episodes prior to that (1-49), and if so , how do I access them in the app ? .
