Description

Season 12 premieres October 20, 2024 – a nonfictional account of The Martian Revolution of 2247.

Mike Duncan is taking everything he's learned from 12 seasons of historical revolutions - the repeating arcs, characters, ideas, events, and patterns which all revolutions seem to follow - and created a fictional history of the Martian Revolution of 2247. The series is written from the point of view of a historian working hundreds of years after the Martian Revolution and will be presented in the style and format of previous seasons of Revolutions. It will look, sound, and feel like a Mike Duncan history podcast…but will instead be a fictional narrative of a gripping science-fiction epic.

Revolutions is a podcast that covers the great political revolutions that have defined the modern world. Each season is a long-form narrative covering a different defining revolutionary epoch across three hundred years of history. It explores in great detail the people, ideas, and events that challenged and toppled outdated regimes and replaced them with new governments. After more than 350 episodes over ten seasons of narrative nonfiction, the 12th season is a fictional account of the Martian Revolution of 2247.

Hey Mr Rick Arden Just wondering whether Colombus 'discovered' the native peoples of South America as well. You know them, they are the ones who actually discoveted America thousands of years before Colombus was born. Regards Rob Sanna.

Couldn't afford to invest in industry? Why didn't they just buy a state of the art German blade factory in order to provide a great shave at a fair price?
