  • Great Show - Annoying Scribbling

    This is a really good history show that is over shadowed by the silly scribbling. What’s the point? Please stop this annoying practice so I can enjoy the show. Thank you.

  • Helpful and insightful

    Excellent synopsis of thousands of years of history, drawing out the bright threads that influence current day events. I’m able to sift through media reports more effectively, because now I have a guideline.

  • Would be great but the audio quality is really quite difficult to listen to. It's 2026, good mics aren't that difficult to come by.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is The USA STILL A Democracy? | 250 Years Of American Independence
Q: What has caused competitive authoritarianism to emerge in America?
Two schools of thought are discussed: one focusing on Trump and his impact, and another on broader structural factors like weakened parties, the breakdown of gatekeepers due to the internet and media fragmentation, and the opportunity for anti-democratic actors to exploit the system.
Is The USA STILL A Democracy? | 250 Years Of American Independence
Q: Is America still a democracy?
The guest argues that while elections exist, genuine democracy has only been robust for a limited period, and the US today experiences competitive authoritarianism—where elections are real but undermined by abuses of power and weak institutional checks—indicating that democracy is in a more fragile, evolving state rather than a settled identity.
Has The Iran War Shattered US Power In The Middle East? | With Dr Andreas Krieg
Q: What's your view at this stage on the winners and losers?
Krieg responds that in practical terms, no side has clearly won; the global economy, the Gulf security order, and regional stability have all suffered, while Iran has preserved leverage and diversified its dependencies, leaving a more complex, interdependent balance of power.
How Has Putin's Childhood Dictated Russian Strategy? | With Mark Galeotti
Q: What does Putin's personal history suggest about what he might do in future?
Putin is driven by fear and insecurity, but his actions combine calculated risk with improvisation; he seeks to secure his regime, avoid being removed from power, and use the West as a foil while pursuing strategic, sometimes escalatory moves when it suits him.
Why Does FIFA Survive EVERY Scandal?
Q: Why do autocrats support or host World Cups despite criticisms?
Hosting allows leaders to bolster popularity, normalize their image, and keep control over domestic narratives while leveraging international attention to distract from internal problems and show economic prowess.
