Dan Carlin is a podcast pioneer who began podcasting in 2005, long before many recognized the value and impact of the emerging medium. His award-winning podcast, Dan Carlin's Hardcore History, has been downloaded more than 100 million times to date.

In 2019, Carlin co-created the award-winning “immersive memory” virtual reality experience War Remains, which explores the First World War and is currently on exhibit at the World War One Museum and Memorial in Kansas City.

Carlin’s passion for history, politics, and storytelling has provided audiences with unforgettable listening experiences and sparked a renewed appreciation for the past. He was also the host of the popular political commentary podcast Common Sense.

He is the author of the 2019 New York Times bestseller The End is Always Near: Apocalyptic Moments from the Bronze Age Collapse to Nuclear Near Misses.

Carlin began his career in television news in Los Angeles in 1989. From 1992 to 2002, he worked as a television news reporter and radio broadcast journalist in the Pacific Northwest. A graduate of the University of Colorado, he now lives in Eugene, Oregon, with his wife and two teenage daughters.
