In this podcast we tried to establish Russian-American understanding, discussed the decline of Kremlinology and the common accusation of 'Whataboutism', examined the Cold War and its new iteration
Couldn't find anywhere else to ask this, so hopefully this will get through: Is there a reason the YouTube News show streams are not also posted to Gumroad (though a few seem to show up weeks later)? As a paying Gumroad member, it's kind of annoying to have to go to YT for the news streams, download and convert to mp3, then put on my phone to listen to as a podcasts instead of just being able to listen via Gumroad app.
Thanks for all your work. Love the show and the recent Romanov series too. Z!
P.S. Suggestion for a future esoteric Russian history show: Deep dive into the legend of Fyodor Kuzmich and the claims (apparently believed by some Romanovs, and Lev Tolstoy as well) that he was really Tsar Alexander I, who had faked his death at Taganrog in 1825. I read a good book on this about 20 years ago by Alexis Trubetskoy, a descendant of one of the Decembrist leaders, Prince Sergei Trubestkoy. A show on Russian Cosmism would be cool too. :)
America didn’t invent sex, but we did invent *advertising*, which is sort of the same thing... I think we’ve also done a lot, through Hollywood, to popularize a kind of pop-Freudian idea that sex is the wellspring of all human activity, which honestly before the nineteenth century was Not A Thing.
I'm so irritated when discussions comes up like, "if or when Putin will use nucleur weapons.
First: Why saying" Putin" instead of "Russia"? Nobody says "Biden" they say "The United States"?
Second: The United States was the ONLY country in not so long ago history that ever used nucleur weapons. (And it was not even pushed into a corner)
Very disingenuous discussion

This Robert Wright is still half way delusional, the regimes are in the west especially Washington which is full of psychopaths.
