i don't blame him i was getting secondhand embarrassment listening to Hersh bust ames' balls Also the Aris episode is kinda wild. The endless "I'm not touching you!" everybody's going through to avoid another world war is kinda amazing. Like all these grand powers are sorta itching to have another go at it but oops their economies are totally intertwined so going to war would be like cutting off your own arm. "yeah we need to sanction them but not so much they stop sending the oil"

Hersh might be going on This is Hell podcast soon. The host, Chuck, reached out to him and he agreed in the next few weeks. Then Chuck shared the email exchange he had with Mark Aames about it. It’s on the latest (chicken) episode at the beginning.

Nothus posted:The original Mark Ames fanboy interview with Robert Parry he is a middle-aged-to-ageing italian guy who knows 60% of everything in the world and has opinions about 100% he also seems to have no notes, an aversion to basic podcast structure and a pretty thick accent i love him as a guest but i can see how he'd rub some people the wrong way

I also have a hard time understanding Annibale. But I do understand that this deficiency is with myself, not him. JOHN DARK

Annibale and Carl Zha eps are the best eps. There's a good old one about Chechen military folk music. Any time they talk about poetry is also great - I think there's one about d'Annunzio

Annibale episodes do universally rule. Also recommend the Imjin War/Japanese invasion of Korea series and Tang invasion of Korea episode.

I highly recommend Episode #64: The Old Iron Dream which is about sci-fi and fascism. It's just a really fun episode and John is clearly having a blast. Also one of my favourite lines from John about how holding up in a bunker with tons of provisions after the apocalypse is for losers and is tactically unsound, but being the leader of the mutant raiders "now that's the dream." also from the hersh jacobin article quote:SEYMOUR HERSH gently caress

The Blumi interview was pretty great in a lot of way. Made me read his book, though that has quite some issues.

One thing I'd like to hear Hersh talk about is being "used". Sometimes it's a way to find out something true and a cost of doing business, and sometimes it's something somebody wants out there but it's a lie, etc., how to suss that out, or maybe even somebody would want Hersh specifically to eat poo poo. I'm sure he would be coy to some extent because it's source-adjacent but he's been around long enough that I'm sure he could talk about something from the 1980s or without being super specific, or maybe the source was lovely and burnable enough that basically they're the story at that point. Or maybe just like a "lessons learned" thing for journalists, whether it's about being used or not.
