I was actually thinking about writing up something about this. The bottom line is filming for S5 of F.A.M. ran July-Dec 2024. The Martian Revolution started in October 2024. What you're all actually witnessing is totally coincidental independent conception

“Decline and Fall,” a live podcast event with Know Your Enemy co-hosts @mattsitman.bsky.social and @samadlerbell.bsky.social and Revolutions host @mikeduncan.bsky.social Join us for a conversation about right-wing narratives around decline and lost greatness. www.eventbrite.com/e/decline-an...

I went on @americanfric.bsky.social and let my incredulity fly

Tomorrow is now today! Do yourself a favor and buy a great book you'll love. Of all the people and groups I've talked about over the years the Bund are inner-circle favs and this is now THE book to read on the subject

My friends! @mollycrabapple.bsky.social's book about the Bund is coming out tomorrow!!!! If you listen to the Revolutions Podcast you will love this book it's that simple. It's so good

The best part about 1917 is SD leaders told women not to turn out for International Women's Day protests in March because it was a lib-coded distraction and they wanted to save their juice for May Day. Instead the women turned out anyway and those protests literally sparked the revolution

The struggle is real

Of all the posts I've seen go up this one most captures how i feel rights now

All brought to you by the same group that in a previous episode staged a riot inside the national capital to disrupt and prevent the legal transfer of power to their political rivals after losing an election

This was back in Aug 9

"The high-water mark of America’s influence over the world has come and gone. All empires are transitory, right? If you rise, you’re inevitably going to stagnate and fall," says American political history author and podcaster @mikeduncan.bsky.social. Interview: www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Was the fall of Rome this stupid? I spoke to Revolutions and History of Rome host @mikeduncan.bsky.social about the decline of empires, and the unraveling of America. Full interview at @rollingstone.com www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Fantastic chat between @mattsitman.bsky.social and @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: know-your-enemy-1682b684.simplecast.com/episodes/how...

Truly this is one of the greatest jokes I have ever given myself and it's amazing it's still coming up 10+ years late. A gift from me to me

these are The Cal Raleigh Years

Heads up people

Marketing Dept gets to add "creator of one of Time's Hundred Greatest Podcasts of All Time" to my bio now and forever so that's pretty nifty time.com/collections/...

this is … honestly not the worst way to teach history

This is obviously abhorrent, as everything about all of this is abhorrent, but this did pop out to me because for the record it's *also* abhorrent to treat regular prisoners this way

Revolutions podcast host @mikeduncan.bsky.social gets into how stupidity leads to revolutions.

As a millennial dad, I have never felt more seen by a podcast episode than this conversation hosted by @weeklyshowpod Jon Stewart with Tony Gilroy (creator of Andor) and @mikeduncan.bsky.social, the great history podcaster whose work I’ve devoured for over a decade podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

New protocols. cc: @mikeduncan.bsky.social

It's true

Jon, @mikeduncan.bsky.social and Tony Gilroy discuss how easy it has been to convince Americans to accept our government’s worst impulses.

Jon welcomes Andor creator Tony Gilroy and Revolutions podcast host @mikeduncan.bsky.social to discuss how today’s moment reflects themes from the show and revolutions throughout history. An all-new episode of The Weekly Show is out now.

Just finished @mikeduncan.bsky.social's Martian Revolution and it is staggeringly good. Highly recommended for any fan of sci-fi, history or both Really hope we get more down the line

Me on Siecle to chatting with David about the July Revolution. Super fun! Enjoy!

Polignac such a fav

My friends! I will be in NYC at the Frauncis Tavern on July 5 at 2pm to talk about Lafayette. Come! Bring your friends! It'll be fun I promise it always is. www.frauncestavernmuseum.org/events-calen...

Just finished @mikeduncan.bsky.social 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.

If you're around Madison, I curated a table of books at Leopold's. Come buy some cool books!

To me the Girondins will always be the ones who beat the drums of war which to me is when it all started going sideways. History remembers them as martyred moderates but they have a lot to answer for

There is an eviwioned trilogy of all the guys who were labeled at some point "The Hero of Two Worlds" Hero of Two Worlds (Lafayette) 2 Hero 2 Worlds (Kosciuszko) H3ro of Two Worlds (Garibaldi)

Just finished listening to this. Some of the best science fiction I have had the honor of experiencing, and some of the best usage of the podcast format. Totally brilliant!

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.

Did a hang with Theo Von about Roman History. Spreading the good word www.youtube.com/watch?v=RObb...

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.

Checking in at the protests

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.

And at last, the Martian Revolution is complete! A fantastic piece of original science fiction delivered in historic content format! Loved it from the colonization of Mars, to the Days of Red, to the Last Uprising! Well worth listening to!

@mikeduncan.bsky.social 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.
