Philosophize This! did an episode on Marxism a couple weeks ago (the host puts it out early that he is a Marxist), an episode on the popular attacks on Marxism last week, and somehow Adam Carolla is going to be on an episode next week to stump for Capitalism. Kinda weird

That's going to be a poo poo show if the host is at all educated.

He's not quite formally. The host has gone to college, hasn't finished due to a really hosed up family life and financial situation, but he'd been obsessed with philosophy since a child and tutored the other college kids in it even though they were further down the academic track than he was. So, not really, but absolutely not due to any lack of effort or passion He's also really laid back and will probably get dominated by Carolla. Still a pretty great podcast though

I feel like listening to Common Sense would unfairly lessen my enjoyment of Hardcore History somehow. I'm just glad there's a current events podcast from someone who is annoyed with both sides of the current discourse, and is even more annoyed that the discourse is what it is.

The Colombia chapter of Revolutions kicked off yesterday, and the first episode already has me extremely hooked. Maybe I need to read a book about Spain in the age of exploration, because that poo poo is just fascinating to me.

Not sure if that's because I'm older, if it's because times are more insane, or a combo of both (probably the latter), but I definitely enjoy both now. So there IS an audience for his absurd false equivalencies?

I swear about 10% of every episode is jokes about Turkish politics and I love it.

One the one hand, a major party candidate is openly campaigning for fascism. On the other hand, someone threw eggs at a protest. Turns out the problem is money in politics!

I figure this is probably the best place to ask: What's the best option for an episode of a history podcast that covers the history of the NRA? Specifically I want to know the finer details of how they came to be such a powerful organization.

Specifically I want to know the finer details of how they came to be such a powerful organization. I just watched this episode of Frontine that was linked and it does a pretty good job of showing how the NRA became successful, but very little of why they are successful. Which makes sense since the tone of the episode is fairly supportive of gun control so it wouldn't make sense to give a more than superficial treatment to the pro-gun side. The long and short of it is that the NRA has lots of members who are organized and passionate about their Second Amendment rights. Full disclosure, I'm an NRA member. I'm also an ACLU member who usually votes for Democrats, for what it's worth. There are certainly ways to expand background checks and to close loopholes without trampling on people's rights. Many attempts at gun control do a lot of over-reach though, so the NRA can take an absolutist stance in their communications to their members and be successful. It drives me nuts that both sides are so antagonistic towards each other that nothing can be discussed in good faith. I'll stop there though. The Frontline episode will give you some of the information you're looking for.

London School of Economics public lectures & events might also be of interest for people into subjects like public policy, law and economics. They are a well-regarded university and get a lot of prominent speakers. They usually host both a podcast and video of the talk.

The British history podcast has hit that era of Britain now. Some of the backer bonus episodes have gone more indepth on things from the Viking side but the main podcast is mostly focused on the impact to the English kingdoms

He didn't formally announce it from what I can tell, but the top of the Revolutions website says 1848 will be next. Of course, that'll be in 2017 after the break Mike will take following Gran Colombia with the book and the tours.

Anyone have any good podcasts on British politics? I'll take either crazy rambling Carlin Common Sense style opinions or cool polished Radiolab More Perfect style on the system itself (although I guess thats law rather then politics, but close enough).

I'm sad to say that I'm withdrawing my recommendation for the Lesser Bonapartes. One of the original hosts left, and the new pair just doesn't have the chemistry that carried the show through its sloppy presentation. It's a shame, but I can't get through the new episodes.

Yeah I pulled out from them for awhile. I'm hoping that maybe after a series or two they'll have worked out the kinks, but the Eastern Border guy can't keep Glenn on track and is himself too reticent in his presentation.
