This is why I'm more drawn to louder, usually comedy-based podcasts, and Carlin is the closest I can get to that kind of dynamism in the history podcast realm.

I can't compare the two, since I've never listened to Duncan, but I really like Dan Carlin's delivery and excitement. He really seems to love the material and the passion for it shows. Also, he seems to be a pretty big geek - with all of his various Lord of the Rings references - which I enjoy.
