I just got access, there's so much content I don't know where to start. I just finished the Gene Sharp colour revolutions episode, which was good. Downloading the Yeltsin coup eps.

Did thee ever do any eps on the Hong Kong student protests? I want to learn more about those but nothing came up except the Gene Sharp ep.

    The recent Civil War episodes are great, particularly the one where they go into McClellan and make the case he and a large part of the top Union military leadership were basically guilty of treason.

      The had :large-adult-son: on for one, but it's far from the most interesting episode in the series.

      The Arab Conquests series was also pretty interesting (246, 249, 251, 255).

      They did a two parter on the NED (274, 275).

      Despite being completely wrong about Russia-Ukraine, the pre/post war episodes with Ben Aris (316, 320) had pretty good economic analysis.

      Any episode with 'Annibale' in it has a tendency to shed light on Eastern Front WWII history that Yanks like myself never learned about (curious).

      Other episodes I remember fondly are Reconstruction as a Dirty War(204), Simon Bolivar & Nadia Savchenko (192), The Rise and Fall of Sparta (162), The Secret Military History of the Internet (120), The Whiskey Rebellion (63). There's tons of shit in here I haven't listened to either.

    279 is just fun all around, the ones about ancient greece and the venice episodes were also awesome

    Maybe this post about their episodes helps. Idk if there is an episode. They often do a segment on the general situation in the world and they definitely referenced the protests there, but for this you would have to roughly go by date
