Rest In Power, Michael Brooks.

MODERATORS
I listened to the whole podcast, but once the Bolsheviks come to power in the last season Duncan falls back on Western anti-Soviet sources and biases so hard that I could barely finish it. Lenin's decline and death give way to a Game of Thrones level of terrible ending that sucks because overall the podcast is pretty great, but it broke my heart to hear "Stalin was just a paranoid maniac" when every other controversial revolutionary figure from every other period gets a square shake. At the end of the day, Mike Duncan is still just a lib who likes history.
