The Lepanto episode is just adorable, but for the nerdy Dune references and the squeamishness when describing the torture of a captured garrison commander. It just makes me want to hug Dolan.

I keep neglecting to post ITT because it's tough to talk about stuff that isn't free to the public, but the last episode on Saudi Arabia's failure in Lebanon is really great.

Is there a (good) reason Al-Saqr has the kind of meltdown when thinking about Amal Saad they usually reserve for I/P thread posts and raging about the monarchy?

I don't know much about Amal Saad, but I'm guessing Al-Saqr can't help but get brain poisoning by having public discourse filtered to him through Saudi media. He also tends to unthinkingly accept the Saudi line that Iran is attempting to "take over" Syria and Lebanon.

New episode just in time for Christmas with Carl Zha, on the Rape of Nanking.  It's really good though. This is one of the few times I'd ever give a trigger warning, because they do read off some of the accounts of Japanese soldiers raping entire families, children, bayonetting children and babies. It's excruciating stuff. e: https://twitter.com/TheWarNerd/status/944942898331693056 Pener Kropoopkin has issued a correction as of 19:12 on Dec 24, 2017 |

Listening to EP114 now, and the last quarter of the show is about UFO disinfo from the '70s!  Mark talks about a book he calls "Miracle Men", but the actual title is "Mirage Men", in case anyone goes looking for it. (Lots of "miracle men" books, mostly about religion/inspiration stuff.) prefect has issued a correction as of 15:01 on Jan 2, 2018 |

I need to relisten to the year in review episode, because I only caught like half of the Yoshio Kodama stuff, but it sounds pretty rad.

I tried to listen to a few episodes, and it's okay but he and his co-host are pretty new to this and lack the audio quality and the ability to stay on point. But that's something that improves with time.

Carl and Nate aren't professional podsters or anything, but they have good guests on sometimes and they all know their stuff on east asian history which is very compelling if you know little to nothing about it. The episodes on Korean history and the rise of nationalism & modernity in Japan are pretty great.

The new War Nerd episode with Yasha is really loving good. It's almost 3 hours long but every minute of it is fascinating. They get caught up talking about the subject as friends that I think they end up giving too much away from Yasha's book. I had no clue ARPA was originally intended to research counter-insurgency methods.

What they REALLY don't tell you is the fact that college protest movements in the 60's were in part protesting against the ARPANET, which they saw as Big Brother surveillance. This is such a different narrative than the one Apple and Microsoft want you to believe.

What's really amazing is the thoroughness with which that episode is erased from all the official histories, to the point where it's a trivia for academic researchers. Yasha says himself it's all there in the archives and not hidden, so everybody writing internet histories for public consumption is editing around it.

nice. it really is a great interview. I was a bit disappointed in the 30 Years War episode because they jumped into it like the audience is already familiar with it. talking about what it was like to actually live through the war is important, but there’s no framing to understand how any of the events being described interrelate. Mark said they’re gonna do another episode on it and they really need it. this leaned too heavily on interviewing John’s friend from Torino, which seriously limited how much time they had to talk about a very complex subject.

yeah it worked for me because I'm pretty familiar with the general narrative of the war. to be fair it's a pretty complicated conflict with a lot of different powers jumping in, but that doesn't excuse not having some kind of basic backgrounder to give people an idea of what the hell was going on in Europe at that time.

Yeah, I found it annoying because I don't know all that much about the topic. The individual vignettes are interesting, but the conversation was such a loving mess that I had to read the wikipedia entry on the war afterwards to make sense of it.

The latest episode was fantastic, it's great to hear someone talk about the loyalist paramilitaries' collusion with the british state and neo-nazi links since the media on both sides of the border often likes to pretend that never happened. My only small issue is i think john is underestimating the importance of abstentionism to sinn fein's base. I've noticed a lot of american leftists having trouble with that since the UK election last year.
