We’re The Jacksway Collective
A podcast featuring old college roommates who now find themselves spread out across the country.
We reunite once a week to rekindle the thought-provoking and, at times, laugh-out-loud discussions we once had during our glory days. Our laid-back approach to continued learning is an attempt to recapture the many late nights we’d spend together unpacking whatever philosophy or fiction we were reading at the time.
We love to learn and believe the best way to do that is through an engaging dialogue. Grab a beer, sit back, and enjoy listening to us ramble on.

Episode 20 | Interview with Professor Scott Palmer - Imperial Russia & The Russian Spirit
Though the Jacksway Collective may have one of the most sporadic release schedules online, when there is a release, it's worth listening. Especially this one.
Jhana had the priveliege of sitting down to chat with Professor Scott Palmer from the University of Texas at Arlington. Professor Palmer is a scholar of Russian history, the history of aviation, the history of technology, and the history of video games. He's also a fascinating guy and a great conversationalist.
The conversation ranged from Russian History, Joseph Stalin, what it means to be "great" in the historical sense, great works of literature, online education, and much much more. If you are at all interested in history, this is the perfect episode for you.
