Giving this series another listen. The Venice series is my favorite Annibale series,but this one is up there.
Laying the groundwork for a continuation of the Italian wars series 🤔?
The opening discussion on Russiagate was so useful to remind myself of why things are how they are in 2025.
“We’re going to have to do a part two.” /Parts 3 - 6 greedily eye the feed
Part 2 starts by saying that it will be three parts. LOL.
The opening discussion makes me want to punch a wall. Why is it that these front of the class yes-man hall monitor snitch-ass liberals insist that everyone follow the rules EXCEPT for the rule that they be held accountable for their actions? I know pointing out hypocrisy is the lowest form of criticism, but part of it is a reflection of how words count more than actions for them and Americans in general, but it really does just come down to “I cannot ever be wrong. It’s the rest of the world that is wrong.”
Yes, his Jeanne D'Arc take is great. He does a magnificent job explaining the social/cultural context of the Hundred Years War.
Don’t think it’s this ep but Annibales account of Jeanne D’Arc is my all time favorite piece of RWN.
