Dan Carlin
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Dan Carlin is an American podcaster, political commentator and amateur historian. Once a professional radio host, Carlin eventually took his shows to the web, and he now hosts two critically acclaimed independent podcasts: Common Sense and Hardcore History. Hardcore History, which has more than 3 million downloads, was nominated in 2012 for a Stitcher Award in the Best Educational & Learning Podcast category. In addition, Carlin has received the Best Classic Podcast in iTunes’ Best of 2014 Awards. He has been pushing the idea that the two main political parties in the United States are part of the problem, not the solution to our governmental and societal dilemmas for more than a dozen years. In addition to advocating his 'neoprudentist' view of things, Carlin brings historical context and analysis into politcal discussion and uses it to help analyze current problems and craft solutions.
