I lust in my heart for as many dead refugees as possible.
I'm really looking forward to hearing how Mark and John are going to cover that insane story out of Ukraine where they faked a journalist's death "to lure out the Russians".

The newest episode is wild.

But after this series on the years of lead I think I know just about as much about them as I did coming in. Very entertaining though.

Brian's arrangements for the show just keep getting better and better. The music between segments is way better than it has to be.

this really is the best podcast out there, i just wish they'd fuckin do half free/half paid eps or something to get more exposure.

hell their episodes are three hours long, so they could easily split a recorded ep and put the second half behind the paywall. someone mail dolan my brilliant idea

They really do need to get on itunes somehow. Uploading hour long snippets is the obvious way to go, and they need to make more episodes free.

I LOVE SEEING DEAD BABIES ON 𝕏, THE EVERYTHING APP. IT'S WORTH IT FOR THE FOLLOWING TAB.
Dolan is probably just happy making a steady income for the first time in his post-teaching career.

Tangentially related to the War Nerd, but Yasha Levine was featured on Sean's Russia Blog to talk about Surveillance Valley.

Lol I bet John was pedantically gritting his teeth through Tim Shorrock's clumsy comparison of the Korean peace process to Northern Ireland.

I kinda wish they would go back to the old days, when they had music related to/originally from the areas they discuss on the show. I think it was the Bosnia show that had Dubiozka Kolektiv song on it. Another episode I can't remember had some hip hop song in Arabic (I think? they played it over once when they had technical difficulties. ahh, the old days...) that was actually quite good also.

i'm assuming maybe they'd thought they'd run into copyright issues once they got bigger? dunno, but i miss hearing new (good) music from around the world instead of utterly soulless elevator music from the future

If you listen closely to the latest Years of Lead episode, John fucks up and calls Annibale by his real first name.

Aldo Moro was born on 23 Sept 1916... I haven't listened to the episode yet, but I'm going to take a wild guess and say that Annibale isn't 101 years old.

One of my guilty pleasures is reading about JFK conspiracy theories and the Aldo Moro episode was absolutely fascinating from that angle.

They should really do an episode on DeGaulle and the failed coup / assassination attempt against him. Post war deep state shenanagins in the 60s and 70s deserve more attention!

Also note the proliferation of "North Korea secretly continuing nuclear work" stories in the mainstream press that have a single anonymous source.

2 weeks? need my fix... I hope john's lips didn't turn blue again :ohdear:

edit: To add some content to this, on Carl Zha's podcast CLASH! on patreon, their interview with Katherine Liddy (wife of one John Dolan) and her experiences in Najran is up for free at the moment. Figured I should put that in there for any other fans of RWN since John's talked about her book and their experiences a lot.

How many times am I going to have to listen to the Wars of Lead eps before I have even a tenuous handle of them, I wonder. I listened to them once through and it was really hard for me to track. The accent was part of it, but also just the events being discussed were hard to thread together.
