gh0stpinballa posted:i think he's a left-liberal who means well but doesn't really understand how the US imperial apparatus works. i enjoyed his series about a possible 2nd US civil war very much. That's weird because he's stated outright a whole bunch of times that he's an anarchist who thinks governments should be abolished. Admittedly I've only listened to about half the stuff he's put out but that doesn't really scream "left-liberal" to me. Lemniscate Blue fucked around with this message at 05:44 on Jan 18, 2021 |

Dapper_Swindler posted:i remember when he flubbed a place close to me in some badly mangled way but the way its spelled, it can't really blame him. "Natchitoches" Louisiana in (I think) the Bill Cooper episode stuck out to me, because the first time I drove through there I likewise assumed it was pronounced like it was spelled, but it's not because Louisiana. Nack-uh-dish, for the record.

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:that's more of an RPG issue than a (mostly but not exclusively) wargame like 40K You know, an episode ostensibly focused on Varg Vikernes would allow for a look at the connection between the far right and geekdom, and could cover a lot of ground.

Grand Fromage posted:I gotta at least know what he was claiming was the police state part. Sulla's proscriptions? I was only half listening but I think it was the Urban Cohorts and the Vigiles under Augustus. The former because they removed the ability of the people to riot to resist unpopular laws and actions, and the Vigiles because they were eventually granted the ability to enter any home and report crimes they saw?

Zugzwang posted:The Columbus series seemed to end abruptly. I know there was a whole lot more genocide and mayhem left to discuss, but instead the last thing Robert covered was Columbus’s deliberately writing down his route incorrectly so that nobody could intercept him/get in on the pillaging action for themselves. Might there be a Part 3? I get a little frustrated when a topic gets more than two episodes without that being made clear at the start, because I like to listen to them all together. The Kissinger 6-parter with the week's break in the middle was a downright painful wait.

The Peccadillo posted:The Sad Oligarch trailer they put up on the feed seems good I think Jake Hanrahan is a Brummie. He's done a couple other podcasts. I liked Megacorp about how much Amazon sucks but I haven't listened to the others, Q Clearance and Popular Front.

goatsestretchgoals posted:Popular Front is his “main” podcast, it’s great if the description on the episode sounds interesting. Megacorp was also good but it seems to have died after season 1. Yeah I think the intention is/was to cover a different corp each season. Maybe the research for each one just takes a lot of work and time to do right?

I'm glad they've started noting how many parts a series will be in the description. I like listening to all of a multi-part episode in a row and it lets me know whether to wait a week to start it.

Wanderer posted:If I was gonna make a list of the moments in the last 30 years or so which would make for a decent Harry Turtledove-esque alternate history branch point, "Steve Jobs decides he can beat pancreatic cancer with a juice cleanse" wouldn't be at the top of the list, but it would be on it. It doesn't strike me as the kind of thing that would have a massive impact on the timeline, but half the fun of alternate history is spinning that kind of divergence from seemingly inconsequential changes. Like yeah the tech industry might be bad in a slightly different way but there's no shortage of motherfuckers there.

Warden posted:I tried to listen to Margaret's Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff and chose the episode about snipers Lyudmila Pavlichenko and Simo Häyhä, but in giving background info to Häyhä, she gave her version of Finnish Civil War and it was not just full of factual mistakes, it was downright completely loving unhinged. And what's weird is that she actually lived here for several years. I stopped there, and haven't tried again. Not having listened to the episode and knowing little about the war in question, would you mind going into a little detail about what was so weird and wrong about her version of the history? This is pretty much just curiosity asking so if you can't be assed that's no problem at all.
