Fantastic chat between

@mikeduncan.bsky.social
about the decline of Rome and the right's perverted efforts to map it on to today's big debates. Matt unearths some oldies but goodies. Highly illuminating all the way:

History of the Martian Revolution. 29 half-hour audio episodes of a fictional retrospective on the future history of Earth and Mars, full of fascinating characters, flawed decisions, important morals. Incredible work, overall.

Mike Duncan is my podcast GOAT. 'Revolutions' is an incredible work of clear vision; and takes painstaking attention and care to the actual people who lived through incredible violence and upheaval.

Mike Duncan you beautiful bastard you've done it again. It's just awe-inspiring how gracefully this series stuck it's landing. I hope this inspire more people to start writing Fictional Non-Fiction because it's such an amazing genre that not many authors have explored.

Honestly kind of in awe of this whole project. A genuine triumph of execution. Never feels like a bit. Compelling science fiction done in the style of his own history podcast. Unbelievable.

What a strange delight this has been. Having told the story of a number of real revolutions in ultra-longform podcast format for ten seasons, Mike Duncan synthesizes the elements and style into a new, fictional revolution. It’s tremendously good, and worth your time if you like sci-fi and history.

thank you for this amazing story. And especially such diverse and incredible women doing things other than falling in love and having babies. This is a beautiful tribute to incredible women throughout time. I’m gonna miss the new episodes and cherish its existence.

Hello friends! Just an FYI I'm still working on the finale. It's big and it's good but it's not done yet. I think it'll probably drop on Tuesday. Endings are tricky, wanna get it right.
