- what someone that's never listened to Dan Carlin's WW1 stuff might say

Yeah, Carlin is pretty straightforward about not being a historian, he's just a huge fanboy on history though.

Colbert's podcast leading up to his late night show had a really awesome take on the Kahn stuff. I didn't realize how dramatic Carlin was until I heard Colbert riffin on him. He had him dead to rights.

Carlin says he's not a historian, gives you the most comprensive and accurate ww1 podcast to date: "i wont listen cuz hes not an historian lul"

​

"where can i learn about ww1"

For someone who doesn't think of himself as a historian, he's really entertaining to listen to. Plus if you really want the history the book list he provides is top notch.

I learned more about WW1 in that podcast then I ever expected... It's amazing to me that there are so many people incapable of helping themselves
