This installment in the Woodrow Wilson series covers the period of the Wilson presidency from the summer of 1914 through the end of that year, when he said he wanted to keep the US neutral & out of the war, & still seemed to at least kinda mean it. (*Apologies for the lackluster audio quality in some of the middle segments - I accidentally used my laptop's crummy integral mic instead of my usual podcasting mic for those.)

We've all heard of the famous 'butterfly effect.' But is there a plausible, realistic, alternative historical scenario in which the US & the world could've been spared the worst aspects of Woodrow Wilson's presidency merely by altering one seemingly minor detail of the 1912 election? Yes there is. Join CJ in this super-concise DHP episode as he discusses just such a scenario, whereby changing only one seemingly humble variable in 1912 would probably have given the US a POTUS who would've...

This time, we're going to take a detour from the chrono-narrative of Wilson's presidency; this one is going to focus on Wilson's beliefs, statements & actions on race throughout his career as an academic & politician.

In this episode, CJ discusses 12 authors who (in his opinion) deserve to be more widely known & read among libertarian/anarchist/etc type people.

Furthermore, all of them are great writers in their respective genres. Join CJ as he discusses: Montesquieu Alexis de...
