it’s very good
listen to bloodwork.
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

The show consistently explores complex histories of power, violence, and politics through meticulous, source-driven analysis. Episodes frequently trace long arcs—from imperial dynamics and state violence to the social and economic structures that enable conflict—often pairing historical context with contemporary implications. Noteworthy is the blend of rigorous research, darkly humorous narration, and a willingness to tackle uncomfortable subjects (genocide, neo-fascism, urban control) with clear citations and accessible storytelling, making it appealing to listeners who want deep, evidence-based insights applicable to policy, media, and strategy.
