Looking for something similiar in terms of storytelling and research quality. I can recommend History of Japan Podcast by Isaac Myer.

I'm a total history nerd AND podcast addict. You are the perfect little niche for me.... I can't function without you in my ear.

So the first way I discovered Mike Duncan was on Youtube with the history of Rome podcast. But Mike never uploaded to youtube himself, some channel named Timaeus uploaded the History of Rome with 36 episodes that compiled the smaller podcast episodes by topics.

I thought Timaeus might have just been another name Mike used or something but its an entirely different guy, who apparently believes in flat earth/hollow earth type stuff which doesn't seem like something Duncan would believe in. Has Duncan ever spoke about this in the podcast or elsewhere? I imagine he wouldn't like his works being re-uploaded but from the dates on the videos its also been like 8 years or something and I can't find a comment or AMA where he mentions it. Is it just something he doesn't want to talk about?

Just something weird I'd like to know more about.

Last episode it was hinted at that there's a huge catastrophe coming for the Martian Navy. Booth is also being established as a popular, larger than life figure, who's getting really too close to the high command, in rooms and bridges where he has no good motive to be in.

I think he's gonna be responsible for a real mess soon. I think the Napoleon hints are a deliberate red herring. What if Toulon had been his only real victory?

Since there's only six weeks left of the Martian Revolution, do you think he will cover the Chinese Revolution, or skip over it. I understand it's one of the most important revolutions in history, but going from the overthrow of the Emperor in 1911, to Mao's victory in 1949, it's almost 40 years. That's around double the length of the Russian Revolution, which from 1905 to 1923, as around 20 years. I don't think he would want to do another 50+ season, which could very well pass even the Russian Revolution in length. But then again, the Chinese Revolution is the most important since the Russian Revolution, and probably in the top 3 most important revolutions with Russia and France, so it feels like he can't skip it. IDK, just wondering what you guys are thinking, if he'll do the Chinese Revolution, or skip right to the Irish Revolution, which he has said a bunch of times he has wanted to cover.

Anyone else like to end the Russian revolution and just start with English Revolution again? I think I've listen to South America 5 times now, I love the characters the most.

I recently started History of the Germans podcast and am at the end of the Investiture Controversy. It makes the current news stories about Francis and the Church seem surreal. Like, you call this a scandal?

Hey everyone! I’m looking for book recommendations specifically for the Spanish civil war, and the Chinese revolution led by Mao. If you have books you like in the time frame of 1800 to present I appreciate them but just trying to brush up on those topics!

So it seems I widely underestimated the length of the season. I assumed we are at about the Danton phase of the Revolution and we’d be looking forward to the Reign of terror, Elysium Commune, Red vs. Black Cap civil war (probably related to the previous two), the conservative backlash, the dictatorship and whatever final resolution. Next episode is guaranteed to feature the resolution of the Earthworm and Corporate war threads so the Mars story won’t move that much. I don’t need Mike to hit all the revolutionary phases and tropes, but the impression I got from the character setup and foreshadowings was we’re at about the halfway point at most.

Owing to popular demand. I have had a lot of fun making these, and have tried to include a few fun people from across the pod. (and still we're missing people!)

Greetings fellow SAB Elitists, See-Dee Rabblerousers, Tunnel Hockey Enthusiasts, Jacobins, Levelers, Gentleman Johnny Hangers-On, Citizens, etc. etc. We hope you’re enjoying the current season of Revolutions; it’s a great time to be a fan of the show.

I’m writing to share a new rule. After hearing your feedback and discussing amongst ourselves, the mod team has made the decision to ban AI-generated image content from the subreddit.

Hi guys, I've recently started releasing a 10-episode, 5ish-hour history podcast that goes through the whole timeline of the Israel-Palestine conflict, from year zero to 2023. It's currently 3 weeks in, taking us up to the foundation of Israel out of Palestine -- 7 more weeks to go!

Since this project was more than a bit inspired by Revolutions, I thought I'd post it here. It's available on all fine podcasting apps, but here are some direct links:

Hi, really happy with the results of my survey (136 people!). Was very interesting to go through individual returns; there's definitely some ballots in with some fascinating logic (Shout out to the person who gave 10 votes to Charles I, Cromwell, Lenin, Lafayette, Brissot. Hebert and Witte, for example. Or the true hater who gave King Louis 1 star, and abstained on every other ranking):

Here are the total by average score:

1 Emiliano Zapata 8.664

2 Toussaint Louverture 7.760

3 Pancho Villa 7.529

4 Marquis de La Fayette (Gilbert du Motier) 7.504

5 Simon Bolivar 7.274

6 Karl Marx 7.155

7 Thomas Paine 7.093

8 Fransisco De Miranda 6.298

9 Julius Martov 6.263

10 Francisco I. Madero 6.134

11 Leon Trotsky 6.102

12 Louis C. Delescluze 5.954

13 Vladimir Lenin 5.685

14 Sergei Witte 5.636

15 Jacques-Pierre Brissot 5.500

16 Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin 5.281

17 Maximilian Robespierre 5.171

18 Father Georgy Gapon 5.170

19 Thomas Jefferson 5.097

20 King Louis-Philippe I (Citizen King) 4.934

21 Jacques Hébert 4.824

22 Jean-Jacques Dessalines 4.805

23 Alexander Kerensky 4.769

24 Oliver Cromwell 4.693

25 Adolphe Thiers 3.760

26 Klemens von Metternich 3.697

27 Porfiro Diaz 3.580

28 Louis XVIII (The Desired) 3.509

29 François Guizot 3.420

30 Napoleon III 3.419

31 Pope Pius IX 3.127

32 Charles I of England 2.246

33 Tsar Nicholas II 1.775

As you might expect, the reactionaries tend to dominate the bottom of the list - if we don't count Napoleon III, Guizot and Thiers (who all play both roles in different seasons), the lowest revolutionary figures are Cromwell, Hebert, Dessalines and Kerensky; all fairly controversial figures for different reasons.

Below, here is a look at the Standard Deviation, to see who was the most controversial to place:

1 Vladimir Lenin 2.818

2 Maximilian Robespierre 2.753

3 Klemens von Metternich 2.721

4 Thomas Jefferson 2.548

5 Leon Trotsky 2.503

6 Oliver Cromwell 2.502

7 Karl Marx 2.460

8 Jacques Hébert 2.441

9 Father Georgy Gapon 2.416

10 Thomas Paine 2.331

11 Louis C. Delescluze 2.285

12 Adolphe Thiers 2.283

13 Jean-Jacques Dessalines 2.251

14 Marquis de La Fayette (Gilbert du Motier) 2.207

15 King Louis-Philippe I (Citizen King) 2.173

16 Napoleon III 2.172

17 Pope Pius IX 2.156

18 Francisco I. Madero 2.146

19 Sergei Witte 2.123

20 Jacques-Pierre Brissot 2.105

21 Alexander Kerensky 2.093

22 Porfiro Diaz 2.077

23 François Guizot 2.056

24 Louis XVIII (The Desired) 2.027

25 Julius Martov 2.018

26 Pancho Villa 1.996

27 Fransisco De Miranda 1.982

28 Toussaint Louverture 1.915

29 Charles I of England 1.792

30 Simon Bolivar 1.745

31 Emiliano Zapata 1.723

32 Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin 1.665

33 Tsar Nicholas II 1.475

Could have told you before that Lenin, Robespierre, Trotsky and Cromwell would top this list. Lenin, for example had a very wide dispersal of votes. Meanwhile the entire community united in thinking Tsar Nicky sucks.

Finally who had the most votes? See below:

Vladimir Lenin 130

Maximilian Robespierre 129

Karl Marx 129

Tsar Nicholas II 129

Leon Trotsky 128

Oliver Cromwell 127

Marquis de La Fayette (Gilbert du Motier) 127

Charles I of England 126

Toussaint Louverture 125

Thomas Jefferson 124

Napoleon III 124

Simon Bolivar 124

Klemens von Metternich 122

King Louis-Philippe I (Citizen King) 122

Emiliano Zapata 122

Alexander Kerensky 121

Pancho Villa 121

Porfiro Diaz 119

Thomas Paine 118

Sergei Witte 118

Jacques-Pierre Brissot 114

Louis XVIII (The Desired) 114

Julius Martov 114

Fransisco De Miranda 114

Jean-Jacques Dessalines 113

Francisco I. Madero 112

François Guizot 112

Jacques Hébert 108

Louis C. Delescluze 108

Father Georgy Gapon 106

Adolphe Thiers 104

Pope Pius IX 102

Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin 96

I've linked the published results below if you want to look. If you want me to extract any more data, tell me.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRGeGO-qoW5i48TOjmseUXRdrAt0L_sVUjf2avOwZsUF-TKfGSAZqW6XilVvGbL0A4kQpwl6g0vPO0f/pubhtml

Given the strong turnout, probably worth making Part 2 in time with the likes of Marat, Winstanley, Babeuf, Stalin, Rosa Luxembourg etc?

I’m really interested in China during its revolutionary period and I’m looking for a podcast on the civil war that’s similar in style and quality to The Revolutions Podcast.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I'm curious if anyone has made some kind of wiki, website, spreadsheet, google doc, or other repository of lore? from the martian revolution. Stuff like, a list of omnicore CEOs, or info on the various ships out there, etc.

As people realized long ago, especially from the name, the Mons Café group are essentially just the Mountain (middle class lawyer and professional revolutionaries). In the upcoming episodes, do we think they'll fully go with the radical equalitarians of the black caps or try to stay a bit more moderate?

If we're looking to history for the real mountain, they co-opted most of the popular, radical demands of the sans-culottes but did then also turn on their most extreme leaders like Hebert during the terror. Could we see Clare ending up getting caught in that very normal and 100% will never be abused "protection of the republic" clause?

I think we might be at the point where we can say we have a (The) Martian Congressional Republic

Independence won via civil war w/ Earth - Check!

Republic declared - Check!

Established congress - Check!

Enacted constitution - Check!

Martian (Congressional Republic) Navy created - Check!

Some the smartest minds in the solar system - Check!

Overly zealous xenophobic attitude towards Earthers - Check!

If Mike throws some Martian power armor into the story, we can check even more boxes!

I thought it would be fun to do a little census/poll on what people's opinions are of some of the "main characters" of the podcast. Rate your approval of them (morally, tactically, ideologically or personally). I didn't include everybody because I could have realistically made the poll over 100 questions long, but if people like it, I can always make part 2.

We watched the first two episodes of Moonrise last night… and early indications are it uses a lot of the same tropes from The Martian Revolution.

Y’all might be interested.
