Mike Duncan must have a new perspective on Parisian unrest eh? Wonder if it'll end up in the book in some way.

I've started the french revolution part of Revolutions, and boy it's really good. I wasn't too enthused about Rome or the prior revolutions, but this is really top-notch.

I’m glad Mike Duncan ditched the 15 episode format for the French Revolution but it’s a shame that the previous revolutions were short changed. Maybe he will revisit them at some point.

Maybe he will revisit them at some point. tbh I just found them significantly less interesting than the French Revolution, as an American I've heard every possible American Revolution story or factoid that could be dredged up for a History Channel special or for a National Park tour guide to use and the English Revolution, while fun, was just a series of running battles that got tedious after a while.

This Historic.ly podcast has an interesting theme (first episode is a FBI whistleblower on post 9/11 FBI) but the production suffers from both poor quality and bad decisions (music over everything). Edit: I dont mean musical beats at transitions, I mean literally adagio for strings playing in the background on loop. Jack B Nimble fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Dec 27, 2018 |

Yikes that’s the most gaudy cover art ever. The more I look at it, the worse it gets. But much like episode 1 I’ll probably listen to it 3 times

Wish he actually talked more about the actual Rape of Nanking instead of going on and on about the controversy. Granted, I already read Iris Chang's book but still.

China History Podcast does a great job with the Rape of Nanking, for anyone who wants to learn more. The host got plenty of material from Iris Chang’s book too. It’s shocking how little it gets talked about in mainstream WW2 media. Although it’s kinda thematically fitting because the West wasn’t exactly concerned about China during the war.

For a guy who will spend a half hour just reading accounts of battles that painstakingly detail all the ways that various parties were tortured to death and/or dismembered, it did seem out of place. Iris Chang's book gave me a lifetime of mental imagery though, so I can't say I missed it, but it was out of place for him to reference a series of firsthand accounts and just move on. Is this the most contemporaneous tragedy he's covered (other than the nukes)? If so, that probably explains it. It's a lot easier to draw a dividing line between guys who would be dead right now (WWI casualties) and parties who could still be alive, or whose kids would still carry their memory (Nanking).

I absolutely love the Age of Napoleon podcast, and understand why he’s chosen to run ads, but the implementation is very jarring. There aren’t really any cuts or segues into them, the show just flows like “...and when he arrived, he found that his ships were off course AND THIS IS FLOE FROM PROGRESSIVE”

The Glumslinger posted:Look what dropped out of the sky today Am I right in thinking that the Japanese on the cover art is a translation of "Give me liberty or give me death"? Kind of like, "Freedom, please. Otherwise, death." =D Edit: I also noticed they swapped the two lines in this image on the store page currently, so that it reads correctly top-to-bottom right-to-left in Japanese.

Anyone listened to the History of the Crusades podcast? Does her delivery ever get more engaging or is it this sleepy monotone forever? There's like 300 episodes so I'm willing to skip ahead if she figures out how to do this better. The later crusades are the ones I know less about anyway.

She never gets all that loud, but she gets a new mic around fifty and stops misnaming the Hagia Sophia. I'd just skip to the first of the cathar episodes and see how you like that.
