    Ep. 20 – Fighting in the Gray Zone: Russia’s Way of War with Simon Ostrovsky

Simon Ostrovsky is a PBS NewsHour Special Correspondent and one of the founders of VICE News, where he covered the outbreak of war in Ukraine and conflicts around the world.

    Ep. 19 – A Dangerous Game: Naval Mavericks and Warfare with Peter Moore

    Peter Moore is one of the rare historians who is able to build a bridge between the obscure figures of the past and the lives of his readers. Through deep primary-source research he lets his subjects speak in their own words about high adventure, warfare, loss, struggle, and even happiness. This discussion looks at what the life of a maverick naval hero teaches us about today. He is the author of five works of history, including the Sunday Times bestsellers The Weather Experiment and Endeavour. His latest book is A Dangerous Game, a new biography of Thomas Cochrane.

    Ep. 18 – Burning Down The House: Banks that Broke America

    Debt can crush a person, but it can also burn a nation to the ground. The early banks of the United States held the seeds of their own destruction but they created the foundations of national finance we use today. What was Hamilton's vision of a national monetary system? Was it a blessing or a curse?

    Ep. 15 – Water and Power: How rivers and water made gods

    Power is all about controlling the one thing that everyone needs. Water is the most important thing in the world and anyone who could command the headwaters turned into a god.

    Ep. 13 – The Treaty That Worked: The most successful international agreement you've never heard about

    Modern history leads us to believe that it's impossible for countries to come to an agreement on anything, let alone everything. However, there was one time in history where every country in the world came together to stop something that was an existential threat. Treaties solved a problem and that may be one of the reasons we don't think about it too much today.

    Ep. 12 – War is for Losers: Here’s how heroes build peace

    We’re led to believe that peace is just the absence of war. The people who want us to believe that benefit from war. The reality is that the infrastructure of peace is being built all around us, we just don’t notice it. Today we look at the stories of people who don’t appear on the front pages of newspapers because they’re busy preventing the wars we’ve never heard about – because they’ve never happened.  This episode was written and read by Eric Czuleger and produced by Savannah Fortis, with original music and sounds by Savannah Fortis.  Find Eric all over the internet:  Sign up for The Under Report: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠theunderreport.io⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@the_under_report⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@The_Under_Report⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/eczuleger⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/Eczuleger⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Book: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You Are Not Here, Travels Through Countries That Don’t Exist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you like the show, rate us and leave a review!
