I guess there's no better way to know you've arrived than having the entire foreign policy blob trying to speak to your manager.

Phone posted:~~~~ tHiNk PrOgReSs ~~~~ Some wild twitter threads coming out of this. Looks like some of these creeps are going after RWN's patreon funding. And a friend is saying there's a deleted Carl Zha tweet where someone sent him pictures of his house and said they forwarded it to ICE. These people are loving horrible.

Carl Zha is a surfer with an engineering degree, and they're getting this worked up about his podcast.

The real crime was the editing of his old cast. "We will cut this part out" indeed.

Thomas Whigham was a good guest but he had pretty advanced case of professor disease. Not as patronizing as that Africa reporter guy (Jeffrey Gettleman?), but definitely used to running a conversation with 20 year olds, making a meal over correcting the minor misstatements of assistant professors etc.

This is a good topic and a worthwhile episode but the guest sounds like an uncle who insists he's interesting.

Like the one that wrote this tweet wants you to think this reflects poorly on Corbyn I saw this tweet a few days ago and then he had his Bellingcat affiliation listed in his bio. It's scrubbed now I guess It's still up at the Bellingcat site. https://www.bellingcat.com/author/magnitsky/

Yeah I didn't really weight my comment right. Top line: Good guest, knowledgeable, good at giving larger perspectives, good teacher and pleasant. Side note: much more a lecturer than a conversationalist with the "how about I ask MYSELF the questions" types of stuff.

Anyone else underwhelmed with the Nigeria episode? Felt like more of the episode was spent on US politics, when the audio was even parsable. Also got the vibe of real trash progressive/liberal electioneering insights, but that's the risk you run into when covering an election I guess. Paraguay episode was lit tho

If it's not in depth as all hell, I'm good. Nigerian politics owns

I thought the one about the Sikh Empire was really good too Anything with William Hogeland is usually gold, he's an academic who knows how to have a conversation, and his book Autumn of the Black Snake is excellent.

I haven’t listened to the Nigerian ep but it reminds me of a comment John once wrote that intrigued me that if not foreign exploitation Nigeria would be a massively successful country on a scale with the big dogs.

The Nigerian episode is like 1 hour American elections & politics, and 45 minutes of Nigerian elections & politics. Which is still way more than you'd get about Nigeria anywhere else.

The Igbo have had a long history of independence before the British made them one big country with the Yoruba, Hausa, and Fulani. Also keep in mind, people may resent Hausa for stupid reasons but the Nigerian army literally starved Biafra into submission, and Igbo & Yoruba who move to the north to make money get killed fairly regularly. It's not like they just hate each other for nothing.

I just discovered RWN about two weeks ago and it's been fun listening to their backlog. Hearing Ames and Dolan gripe about weird grievances from the Russian ex-pat community at the turn of the millennium gives me great flashbacks to when The eXile was the homepage on my mom's lovely Dell PC in 2003. I found the Sino-Vietnamese War episode to be pretty interesting, but goddamn the guest audio is super painful sometimes (as you all have discussed with the Nigeria episode, holy poo poo).

yeah ill always listen to the first 30 minutes where we get to hear about mark ames being a dad and john dolan’s misadventures but sometimes the guest audio is just unlistenable and i skip the meat of the episode. it truly sucks
