posted this in the podcast thread and someone reminded me this thread was still open: I had a long conversation last night with a friend who grew up conservative but is now sort of rethinking things in the wake of *waves hand at 2020 in general*, and one thing that came up was the history he read as a kid was all old school British-imperialist jingoism. I was thinking Radio War Nerd might be a good gateway drug for doing cool history stories from a "gently caress the British Empire" perspective; anyone have opinions on specific episodes to get started with?

Episode #56 abou the the Sikh Empire is also good and is a great example of how Britain carved up the world: https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-7119455 Or Episode #77 about Britain's collusion with Reactionary Islamic States: https://podcastaddict.com/episode/77635884

Can anyone name an article John once wrote about an unassuming black leader with glasses who led a violent regime? I wanna say it was in Haiti, but I can't find anything related to him with that.

The one episode RWN did on the Thirty Years War was simply not enough. Is there a good podcast that covers it much more in depth?

Just started listening to this podcast and was wondering if there is a list of best episodes for the newbies? I really liked the Bowe Bergdahl episode and "songs of defeat" episode was nice to listen to some of while cooking. Not sure where to go from here cause there's so many eps and my podcast app doesn't show descriptions for the episodes.

I actually recorded one with a few buddies about Albrecht von Wallenstein but we weren't very good and I think it's lost, but yeah more 30 years war content would be cool, it's an incredible clusterfuck

(I really enjoyed like the 3rd Annibale episode. I had a hell of a time parsing his accent / slightly stilted English for some reason and it took a bit before my brain could do the hash table, but your mileage may vary.)

I know you want a podcast but have you read Peter H Wilson's Europe's Tragedy? About as good an intro that complicated mess as you're going to find. It is 11 years old so dunno if the scholarship has changed much in that time

Not sure where to go from here cause there's so many eps and my podcast app doesn't show descriptions for the episodes. A fan favourite is the Sci-Fi episode even though it's not really like most of the other episodes on the show, Episode 64: Sci-Fi and Fascism. Also Episode 56 about the Sikh Empire gives you a good preview of John Dolan and his views on the British Empire. Also a historical moment I had never heard about at all. Episode 140 about the NYTimes Podcast Caliphate is pretty funny in retrospect. It takes them 90% of the episode to get through the first episode and given all the problems we now know with the podcast it's interesting to see what they already figured out.

It's an incredible story for a war that I had never even heard of previously. #174, War of the Triple Alliance, is the episode which got me hooked, and another crazy story that is essentially unheard of in the anglosphere. The Venice series with Annibale are all great, as are the Years of Lead. edit: also the recent 1993 Russia Coup four-parter is excellent Ramrod Hotshot has issued a correction as of 18:01 on Mar 9, 2021 |

This latest one on Myanmar is pretty excellent. Dolan's perspective on the British Empire as "terrifying" is always an interesting one, and I always love learning about ways countries stretch far beyond the general image one has of them.

Hope you told him the first one is enough. I just dropped the third one midway through because there was too much conspiracy nonsense and Baru feeling bad that was drowning out the interesting stuff (the Mbo and how Falcrest struggles to understand/destroy them). The first I really liked though.
