“By the end of it I came away with a much clearer understanding of socialism and the many shades thereof. And generally, Revolutions does a great job by differentiating between the “political question” —do we have rule of law and equal rights?— And the “social question — are we going to protect...”Read full review »

To not miss any interesting anecdotes, but not let them overtake the narrative. Mike Duncan succeeds at this with flying colors. You are never...”Read full review »

It took him like 10 years to write and produce this podcast. It was worth it. Historians will cite...”Read full review »

This is a fantastic investment from the Ken Griffey Jr. of history podcasters; maybe I undersold that a little? Mike can...”Read full review »

While there will be some context missing without the French Revolution, the...”Read full review »
