# How long does it take to listen to Dan Carlin's Blueprint for Armageddon?

**How long to listen to Dan Carlin's Blueprint for Armageddon: about 23 hours**

6 episodes on the First World War

Blueprint for Armageddon is six podcast episodes covering the First World War in about 23 hours — longer than most audiobooks on the same subject, and made by one man with no institutional backing. Individual episodes run over four hours, which broke the format conventions of podcasting when they were released between 2013 and 2015. At 1.5x playback speed it comes down to about fifteen hours. Carlin describes himself as a fan of history rather than a historian, and the series is unusually explicit about which parts are contested.
