Season 2 starts off with a whole salvo of bangs! Our beloved guest Shane is back to bewitch us and this absolutely insane part of history. We fire of on superstition, witch-craft & the long-standing tradition of gross stuff from the Middle-Ages. The topic are the so-called Gefrorene, people who thought that a cool spell would keep them from getting shot in battle. Ben's research: https://docs....

The final episode of Season 1 of The Eurocentrist ends with a bang not a whimper, because we are still talking about the absolute unit that was Nestor Makhno, the anarchist who tried and tried and tried to make the world a better place. And to end this bombastic series, we have Terence Hartnett back on the pod to thoroughly entertain us. Ben's research: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18Nnkkxjf...

Anarchy reigns supreme in this episode or tries its bloody best at least. Our boy Makhno is surrounded by a-holes and the British are here to not help as well. We have our beloved guest Terence Hartnett back and we valiantly charge once more onto the breach.
