There’s a lot of podcasts that will tell you what is happening right now, but there’s not many that will tell you WHY things are happening. This is one of them. Approaching modern politics and global events from a perspective that is sorely missing from basically all of them: what violence is, how the state and non-state actors use it, and how it’s been applied across history and modern events. It’s a refreshing take on the usual pontificating about events that takes into account actual power dynamics. A well considered mixture of the current and the historical, listening to Blood Work will make you smarter, whether you want it to or not.
