Okay so Guy Goodbody suggested I post this here. I'll be doing a big post about it in GBS soon, but it seems very specifically relevant to your collective interests so I figured I'd give you a sneak peak.

Here's the thing though: I'm hoping this doesn't escape from the forums into the world at large until it's a little more done, so do try to keep it within SA for now.

I've been chopping up Dan Carlin podcasts and reassembling them into a different story. Currently it's called Hardcore Prophecy: The Trump of Doom. Some of you may remember a project like this called Son of Strelka that I did a few years back with Obama's autobiography. This one is much more dark, violent, and flat-out nasty. It's an alternate history story in which Donald Trump declares himself to be the new Messiah and becomes prophet-king of the USA. The results are, of course, mandatory congressional orgies in public, nationwide cannibalism along party lines, and good old fashioned nukes. Here's a quick video showing how it's done:

And here's a quick preview of poo poo getting crazy from a few months ago (it's changed a bit now):

Chapters are getting finished out of order, unfortunately, but if you don't mind that you can find some of them on my soundcloud. Or you can subscribe to the soundcloud as a podcast here.

This is such an amazing and hilarious idea. Thank you for doing this.

Do episodes 5-7 exist?

The text is mostly done, but they haven't been posted yet because I haven't done the music. Ditto for chapter 9. Working on that on a daily basis right now, so I expect they'll be coming out soonish!

e: Oh, what's on the soundcloud as chapter 4 is actually now part of the new Chapter 3, which I haven't uploaded yet. The new chapter 4 is nearing completion, I'm working on it right now.

This reminded me, a while ago I recorded several letters from the 1673 invasion of New York by the Dutch, set to ominous banjo music.

I didn't know 'ominous banjo music' was a thing until now.

Yeah there are parts where Dan Carlin's super-serious delivery is just magical for this sort of thing. My favorite part (which isn't in a bit that I've made public yet) is him saying very, very earnestly "eating other people...that's un-American".

I've always had pretty good luck putting my music stuff in GBS, but I have to admit that I'm a bit skeptical about asking other people to put in that much effort given the notorious futility of goon projects.

Maybe I'll illustrate it using stick figures in Powerpoint if nothing else comes of it.

Are there any good podcasts about the Soviet Union? I'm talking everything from early revolution to the Cold War, to politics between the various Eastern Bloc countries. Especially interesting would be anything that helps to picture life behind the Iron Curtain - culture, underground groups, contact with the West, scientists, etc.

And on a related note, is there a podcast for the history of the Balkans? Beyond just the Cold War, I'm curious about ancient history up through current day with a focus on the wars after the fall of the USSR.

I tried The History of the Cold War, but it was so painful to listen to that I just gave up.

Surely the Eastern Border podcast is good for that.

The new episode of HH gives some descriptions of ancient executions and sacrifices early on, so that might give you some new material to work with.

How well does he stay on topic and how much time is spent repeating whatever thesis he has.

I don't particularly like what I've heard of Revisionist History. Gladwell getting on his soapbox in The Road to Damascus in particular falls flat if you don't think the CIA is inherently good.

After spending a good chunk of time on the setup, he really stays on topic very well. I'm not really sure if he has a central thesis, but he mainly focuses on "why does ceaser seem to go out of the way to describe the people he is massacring in such a positive light?" and "what does it mean to fight for freedom when the penalty for fighting and losing is genocide and there is an option for way less harsh alternatives?"

Does anyone know where I can find episodes 2-52 of There's No Such Thing As a Fish? The site literally makes you buy the physical LP, and I can't find an rss feed that includes them anywhere. There's even a reddit thread somewhere where someone gives out their google drive archive which includes some, but not all of those episodes.
