What's your favourite episode? Tsar Alexander IIs Assassination is my favourite because of how much they tie in 19th century russian lit
I always like George Orwell because there's a lefty in there and he gets really, really upset when pushed about why exactly Orwell had to flee Spain. The Simone de Beauvoir episode is interesting solely because they zero in on her relationship with Sartre to halfway arrive at a patient zero/unity theory for the genesis of a lot of modern thought.
I listened to the episode on Molière on the drive back from my first ever work shift so probably that one
>>24491472 (OP)I like the one where the Oxbridge guy with something interesting to say gets to talk for 3 minutes before some hag from literal-hu U. talks over him for 20 mins straight while Martin seethes in silence about whether he can interrupt without looking prejudiced.
Oh wait thats every episode.
>>24491743Yeah its just slop promoting globohomo. Delete every episode.
Is there any way to download a lot of episodes of this at once?
>>24491472 (OP)English history ones like the Danelaw or Cnut the Great
>>24491472 (OP)Recommend the Industrial Revolution one for the slap-fight between Melvin and a hard-materialist scholar who more or less totally rejects the idea that British genius was in any way precipitatory of industrialisation.
>>24493643I've listened to hundreds of episodes, and thats maybe the only time it seemed like Melvin or one of the guests actually got upset
>>24491472 (OP)>What's your favourite episode?Irish famine where Melvin asks the guest if it was genocide
