J. David Markham / Ukraine
My old friend and colleague J. David Markham joined me today to talk about Russia and Ukraine. We planned to get to other topics, but ran out of time. Although we agree on most things related to Napoleon, David and I disagree on nearly everything else related to geopolitics, so this was a fun episode.

Glad I Found This Podcast
This podcast is a great concept; teach people about current events without the bias and BS that comes with most major news organisations (such as their focus on making profit and achieving political goals for their employers).
Cam and Ray make depressing world events more digestible by having a rational attitude towards them, just wanting to tell the real story and sometimes even making an up to 32 hour sub-series on the histories of certain events so you can understand them better and how companies (and even governments) have blatantly twisted the truth, usually choosing money over human life.
Hope this series continues for a long time as it’s very educational as well as extremely entertaining, thanks to Cam and Ray’s ability to make inappropriate jokes somehow feel appropriate.
Worth Your Time
I’ve just listened to and thoroughly recommend the mini-series on vaccines, both from its exploration of the subject, but also it’s demonstration on how to decide what can be believed in a post-truth society.
Mandatory learning
Don't worry about the lack of dick jokes guys, I get enough juvenile, crude, inappropriate commentary from you on your selection of history pod casts...long live Agrippa!
I am all for a bit of American and British governmental bashing, but it would be good to remember that the Australians have been there all the way ;)
If I were a teacher, this would be mandatory listening, although I'm sure I'd get fired.
Keep up the hard work legends!
