    • Bonus Episode – Anarchism, Daoism, and Dead Malls: A Conversation

      Bonus Episode – Anarchism, Daoism, and Dead Malls: A Conversation
      Feb 18 2026

      I sat down with my friend Jordyn [Last Name Redacted] to discuss the history of anarchism, an important subject that’s tangential to the 20th century’s struggle between nationalism and globalism. We also talked a bit about the history of Daoism, as well as the subject of Jordyn’s upcoming podcast: dead malls.

      Apologies for the poor audio quality. I have lots of experience running my own personal microphone, but have never mic’d a whole room before. Clearly, there is much to learn.

    • Episode 68 – The Unification of Germany

      Episode 68 – The Unification of Germany
      Oct 23 2025
      In the year 1870, Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck engineers a war to cut France down to size. French Emperor Napoleon III is willing to oblige, and bungles his way into a war against all of Germany. The Franco-Prussian War proves to be more than he – or anyone else – bargained for. Within a few months, Paris will be under siege, proto-Communist rebels will threaten to take over France, and the Italians will invade Rome. And Bismarck, ever the opportunist, will grasp at the opportunity to unify Germany once and for all.
