2025/10/28
It is the day of days - we're tackling one of the biggest chapters yet. Who are the three heads of the dragon? What are the betrayals? Who's the grey-lipped man on a ship? The false dragon? We're talking about none of that. Instead, we're taking the deep dive into what this chapter actually MEANS.

2025/09/13

BLAH 207 | Designing board games, with Artyom Nichipurov
2025/07/23
I’m talking to Artyom Nichipurov from Wolffdesigna Games, a Latvian firm that’s most famous for the excellent “Guards of Atlantis II”, a tabletop adaptation of the MOBA game experience. If you don’t know what any of this means, no worry, I got you covered - the first seven minutes of the episode explain what MOBAs are and how GoA2 specifically functions so you can understand the episode. If you already know, feel free to jump to minute 7.26 for the episode proper.

more

2025/02/28
Today, we're looking at why the CDU could rule for 20 years in the early German republic. There's a good combination of electoral shenanigans, foreign policy questions and old Nazis involved.

Awful
Perhaps the least informed understanding of the Russian Revolution ever recorded. Given how bad it is, I cannot believe you on anything else now.

Re: the Wiemer Republic-
“Don’t read anything that will aid you in discerning the truth for yourself, and words mean what we say they mean.” Very trustworthy podcast.
