Conflicted: A History Podcast

New Episode🚨 open.spotify.com/episode/5GJ94S…

@PhilipHallole8 Thanks Philip! Yes, I completely agree. A pretty shameful chapter of the histories of all three.

@a_conflicted love your shows. Listening to Eichmann now. I am embarrassed for the United States, the Red Cross, and the Catholic Church. When they had a chance to do the right thing they opted not to. Politics be damned.

@Mrinji_ian Thank you so much for the kind words :) And apologies for the late reply (I'm not on here as much these days). I love the topic suggestion! I've actually been toying with doing something with the Tale of the Heike / Gempei War, but 47 Ronin is very interesting too. Thanks again!

It’s such a fascinating tale of loyalty, honor, and revenge, and I think your style of storytelling would really capture the drama and moral dilemmas behind it. Thanks for the amazing work you’re doing with the podcast—I always look forward to new episodes.

Hi @a_conflicted I’m a big fan of your work—I really enjoy how you bring complex history and human conflict to life in such a compelling way. I wanted to suggest a possible topic for a future episode: the story of the 47 Ronin from feudal Japan.

@robro0419 Thanks, man :)

@a_conflicted i don’t tear up much, but the end of this episode, the description of what Justinian might have said to Theodora at her tomb, was enough to make a grown man cry

That's a wrap on Justinian & Theodora❤️ On to the next... open.spotify.com/episode/4BE6p6…

@cyniq922 Haha probably by next weekend at the latest! Production usually takes about a week.

Update: the script for part 3 is almost done. Hoping to start recording late next week 👍

Random book recommendation. Absolute gem. Very funny, yet moving.

@BKgitauu Thanks so much! Glad you’re enjoying it. Those two you mention are some of my favorites as well.

@a_conflicted Brilliant storytelling! The depth of research and narrative flow is exceptional. The episodes that you’ve produced on the Yom Kippur War and the partion of India are my 2 personal favourite episodes. This is latest series is undoubtedly heading to the top of my personal charts!

@0Sylo Thanks so much! Glad it’s been a good way to pass time on the road. That’s my favorite place to throw on a podcast too.

@a_conflicted I can't dm you since I don't wanna pay for it but just wanted to say every weekend I drive to my gf for 2 hours and I found your podcast and have been listening to it for the last couple months since then. Keep up the good work.

@MarieGilbe4361 Thank you!

@a_conflicted Brilliant!!! I absolutely LOVE your work!

@xander_wall Hang in there, man. Sorry it was a rough one. Happy to have helped a bit 🫡

@a_conflicted I had a really rough day/week. Getting the notification from Spotify that there was a new episode waiting for me truly lifted my spirits. Time for me to mentally check out and tune into this historical love story.

@PappaBear39 That’s a totally fair critique. Definitely an oversight on my part. I’m glad you enjoyed it overall, though. Thanks for listening!

...@a_conflicted My only quibble? You missed the masseur of intellectuals just before the surrounds to Indian art, which put Bangladesh 20 years back and was a significant event that still resonates today.

Akura Kurosawa's beautiful paintings, used also as storyboards for "Ran" and "Dreams"

Creative work is a loop. Once you get to the end of a project, you find yourself back in the beginning of the next project, with the same steps ahead of you. But it’s also a spiral, you have learned a lot, there are new thoughts, you are evolving, on a journey somewhere.

@Daisy91554565 Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

@a_conflicted Just discovered your podcast. It’s fantastic! Can’t stop listening.

Just a quick update. The script for Part 4 of the Partition series is done! Recording this week.

Has anyone said this yet

@Dilliwalanerd33 Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it :)

The final 5th episode of the Bangladesh series has come out. @a_conflicted Your voice & way of narration is absolutely amazing & stories you tell are always so interesting and even though I know a lot about this War, thanks to you I still learnt new things pca.st/episode/dece17…
