Carlin's podcast (and a lot of popular history podcasts) are generally considered fairly poor by academic historians, in regard to accurately portraying modern historical research. I think those kinds of podcasts are good to engage and stimulate interest in history, as long as the listener understands that they are a kind of "pop" history and should be taken with a grain of salt.
Same goes for a lot of popular books, like Sapiens.
