A couple of years ago, there was a discussion thread in AskHistorians of "How do you feel about Dan Carlin, accuracy-wise?": https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/k6jyx7/how_d... >...Saying that "AskHistorians thinks Hardcore History is really innacurate" is completely false. I think the overall opinion is quite a bit more nuanced than that and in general historians appreciate anyone who helps get people more interested in history. Though, in terms of accuracy, as one commenter wrote: >...Not only doesn't Carlin do sufficient research with the appropriate sources, but he tends to approach his episodes with an endpoint in mind, and then focuses on ensuring his research fits that narrative rather than building a narrative from the research. |
