I want to like Dan carlin, but their is something weirdly alex jones about his voice and mannerism. However thehistoryofrome.com and revolutionspodcast.com are fantastic alternatives.

They are both passionate people whose articulation is rife with some distinct regional and broadcast (ie. radio) shibboleths.
Only one of them is a post truth raving lunatic dangerous populist performance artist shill.
You're doing a disservice to Dan Carlin and giving Alex Jones way too much power/credit by justifying a knee jerk bias based on superficial resemblances.
I once came across a podcast that seemed interesting. I was enjoying the content, but I couldn't shake the feeling that the narrator's voice sounded like a friend who committed suicide. I had to turn it off.
When I first started listening to his podcasts, I got a strong AM radio talk show vibe from him. But the material, in my case, The Wrath of the Khans, was too intriguing to stop listening. After a few hours the negative association I had with his voice went away. Glad it did because his material really is high quality and an enjoyable listen.
