  • Rhodesia

    Will, not sure how to get ahold of you. Could you do an episode on Christianity in Rhodesia? I’m curious how that was with the idea of “tribes”. And our United States Identity with other cultures vs from a Christian mindset.

    Love the show. Thanks!

  • Very Enjoyable History Discussions and Exposition.

    After following Will on Twitter for a while I’m so glad I found his podcast. I have really been enjoying his Rhodesia podcasts especially the one with Rory Duncan. Will always has very knowledgeable guests and discusses topics of history from a perspective you will not get anywhere else.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Life Was Like in Rhodesia and South Africa with Donald Maclean
Q: What was the experience of the Angolan Bush War like for you personally, and what role did you serve?
I served in a light air-supply support role with 101, working alongside 32 Battalion; we operated from Andanga and other bases, flew in DC-3s and Pumas, faced near-constant vigilance, and endured long patrols with moments of intense danger and camaraderie.
What Life Was Like in Rhodesia and South Africa with Donald Maclean
Q: How did you end up in Rhodesia and what was daily life like there during the height of the conflict?
I traveled with my family due to my father's work; daily life felt first-world on many fronts—wealthier amenities, strong security, and a social fabric of diverse Western expatriates—while the bush war loomed as a constant undercurrent in the background.
The Reality of South Africanization with Roman Cabanac
Q: How do you see South Africa's future and the potential for political balkanization?
Cabanac believes South Africa will see de facto balkanization where communities will create their own separate identities and governance systems.
The Reality of South Africanization with Roman Cabanac
Q: To what degree does the government enforce its ideology or cut through ineffectiveness for precious state assets?
The government shows selective enforcement where bribery is common, and some assets are protected more rigorously than others.
The Reality of South Africanization with Roman Cabanac
Q: What possibilities remain for actual change within the political system that helps make South Africa a better place?
Cabanac suggests that current coalitions are unstable, and change could come from an emerging leader who addresses critical problems like crime and inefficiency.
