With a pleasant Irish lilt and fluid prose, the hosts of the Blood Works podcast explore the grim realities of violence through well-researched global reporting. Tom and Greg provide sharp historical context—such as their account of the AK-47 and its role in Soviet strategy—illustrating how accessible weaponry shaped geopolitical balance. Their consistently high-quality weekly episodes merit genuine praise 🙏
What a well produced, well researched, well articulated piece of work, and believe me when I say this because I consume a lot of “adjacent” content. Good on ya mate!
Great show, wonderfully rich and timely analysis. Listen to the intro on the history of the AK47. Beautiful podcasting
This podcast is excellently made, smooth editing and delivers an incredible analysis on the horrors of today. With that, it’s incredibly frightening as to how dire of a situation the world is in now with the surge of the fascists. First as tragedy, then as farce. Keep up the stellar work
This show is both analysis and philosophy of extremely relevant issues to how our world has become. It is thought providing and dryly humorous. The host is eloquent, clever, and funny. The subjects chosen are fascinating. Overall, superb.

The show consistently analyzes power, violence, and economic systems through historical and political lenses. Episodes thread together weapons proliferation, statecraft, sanctions, and the ethics of modern geopolitics with rigorous research, sharp critique, and a dark, dry humor. A standout characteristic is the host's ability to connect long-running historical trends to today's policy and cultural dynamics, making complex topics accessible to listeners from academia, journalism, and public affairs. The format often features expert guests and provocative takes on how violence shapes economies and governance, which can be especially appealing to decision-makers and thought leaders evaluating risk, policy, and messaging.
