The Fan of History podcast doubles its listenership again due to the Battle of Qarqar

I guess the Battle of Qarqar in 853 BC is a pretty monumental event. I was happy to talk to Brennon about it in the 23rd episode of the Fan of History podcast. Apparently you guys liked it as well as the listenership increased A LOT with this episode.

 You can find the episode here: http://magicgatheringstrat.com/2015/10/the-battle-of-qarqar-853-bc-fan-of-history-podcast-ep-23/

 It is also on itunes of course.

I joined the International Grand-Lodge of Druidism two days ago

After advice from a turfer friend I joined the order! Read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient... If you are interested I will tell you about my experiences in the order - except for the secret parts of course. Tonight I will swear never to tell anyone outside the order what happens in the grove itself!

MagicGatheringStrat reaches 5000 subs on YouTube

This was an important milestone for me! It is still and will probably remain my biggest YouTube channel for a good while. I decided to celebrate in the old captain explorer room my wife designed:

The Fan of History Podcast episode 19

Just released a new episode of the Fan of History podcast with me and Brennon Rankin.

Its episode 19 - Greece in the Early 9th Century BC.

The Greeks will take center stage in our narrative in the future, but what are they up to in the days of Ashurnasirpal II?

Brennon and Dan have a look at the Greek world in the early 9th Century BC, before colonies, before the
Olympiad and long before some Roman decided to name the proud Hellenes "Greeks"

Game of Thrones will have more than seven seasons!

As one of the hosts of the Game of Thrones Chat podcast I am more than excited right now!

This is how excited I am:

Of course, Game of Thrones Chat will do everything in our power to be there to cover those bonus seasons we did not expect!

I was quite convinced that they would actually end in the seventh season in 2017!

I just announced it

I went public on Facebook and MagicGatheringStrat today that I am now a full time youtuber and podcaster. You can find out more about the youtube channels and podcasts in the links on this blog.

I am quite nervous. This is quite a big thing. Maybe even a crazy thing. But the die has been cast. Lets do this!

More YouTube projects are in the works but I am still officially on vacation until August the 17th.

Adolf Hitler must die!

Yesterday I launched the pilot episode of my new YouTube series on Fan of History

What is Fan of History?

I love history. It is probably hard to understand how much I love history. Its a lot.

I especially like very ancient history.

When I started youtubing I immediatly thought of doing something about history. Thus the Fan of History youtube channel was born. In hindsight it might have been a mistake as I later understood that Fan of History works better as a podcast. So why not do both?

Today the Fan of History is both a YouTube channel and a podcast.

You can find the YouTube channel here:


You can find the Fan of History Podcast here http://magicgatheringstrat.com/category/fohcast/

To differentiate between the two the YouTube channel is mainly me showing pictures and talking about history while the podcast is my good friend Brennon and myself talking about history.

I started the Fan of History podcast with a narrative of World History starting in 1000 BC. That was actually intended as training to get experience telling history to unknown people. I have many future plans for the Project (see link below).

The next thing I will do is continue the narrative until 700 BC and start a new series called Adolf Hitler Must Die. The new series will be about the 42 assassination attempts on Adolf Hitler.
