It gives me a weird feeling, moving straight from history to fiction in the same podcast feed cringe

      He’s always been extremely lib brained.

      I’ve made several comments like this on here but it pisses me off that the only podcast I’ve found that covers individual revolutions in long form with a documentary tone is so overtly ideologically lib. It would be so easy to not betray the good, solid structure of the podcast to make stupid uneducated side comments, but he just can’t help himself.

    I started listening to it and thought the vibes were fucked. Covering his own fiction in the same tone he uses for historical events is just weird as hell, don’t like it.

        Did he fix fucked audio q at least? Some of them were very rough already. Gotta be prepared to pirate podcasts now:(

        Also, if it’s auto insertion, try vpn, they don’t yet use them in all markets (at least intercepted didn’t have them everywhere)

    I liked Revolutions and think most of the complaints about it are silly in the face of how broadly impressive it was, but this sounds unlistenable. the podcast about history books he previously announced made way more sense
