Your attempt at pronouncing Tadeusz Kościuszko's name was quite amusing
the dumbest episode of a podcast I've ever heard, literally just podcast owners playing who's dick is bigger, and trying to learn zoom at the same time
This episode cuts off mid-sentence here. The last minute or so is clipped.
Please move on. We're missing important caracter and life history traits from Napoleon while you focus on this anglo-centric Nelson parenthesis.
this guy spends about 10% of every episode demanding money whislt producing one audio a month, then invites a fellow grift on to explain why he needs more money for his "project" rather than use the podcast to talk about Napoleons invasion of Russia 😂 this podcast is becoming a waste of time. sad.
your endless grifting for money despite only releasing a podcast every month or 2 is quite extraordinary.
three episodes on Nelson emphasising his supposed "character flaws". you really are one odd little Commie. Can't be bothered listening to any more politically motivated, overtly partisan pre tyrannical, pro revolutionary tripe. good day.
mate you're grifting has no ending. 2 minute begging bowls. adverts 2 minutes before the end. jeez man, get a job and do this as a hobby instead?!
of course the murderer and protagonist of the Terror, Robespierre, is given "nuance" by this Commie sympathiser. deary me.
capitalism is indeed the natural state of affairs for anyone not bartering goats for grain. you commie moron.
the jacobin magazine 😂 of course this lad is a flippin commie sympathiser. what's wrong with uni grads man. thick as f**k. credentialised morons.
I love this podcast. That's all I got to say
Please go back to Napoleon
have you ever play napoleon total war ?
he's a grad student studying a debt crisis lol
To be honest I dont care much for this Nelson disgression. I suggest you keep things moving.
This is the third time I'm listening through all the episodes. What a revolutionary (troll face) way to consume history, this is. hands down the best podcast of all time and incredibly impressive work
Dude, great show, but fuck those ad's sound level being higher than the podcast....
I recently discovered this gem. This goes into such detail - in a way I couldn't fathom beforehand. Despite the Corsican parts feeling a bit slow to me, it is totally worth the wait dem thicc ads tho
Excellent podcast!
