I'm about halfway done with the last season of the Revolutions podcast and up to date with Blowback. I'm probably going to be looking for another fun history podcast to listen to soon to throw into my rotation with The Dollop, to break up the pop culture, comedy, or news podcasts.

I recently listened to the Kissinger episodes of Behind the Bastards and they seemed pretty informative and funny. Also apparently it's by some old Cracked people, and I'm a fan of all those old Cracked content creators. But the first episode says it's about Stalin, so I'm guessing it's like in the progressive but lib direction? I don't mind, just want peoples thoughts on it before I decide to start or look for something else. How is it for people who have listened to it?

I was in the same position as you with Revolutions completely done and Blowback up to date. Check out People's History of Ideas, a Marxist historian that covers the Chinese Communist revolution. It is amazing.

Ooh thanks for that suggestion. It's probably the one I will know the least about once I finish this season of Revolutions (because it's not covered by either podcast lol).

that guy is Marxist yes but he would be cooler if he got down with Deng

I think Deng might be vindicated in the long run, China seems to be doing alright, so he is no Gorbachev.
