History podcaster/author. Revolutions + The History of Rome
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

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

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

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 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.

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.
