Listeners! Ignore not the reference to Youtube! We are steadily working through the backlog of old episodes at the rate of one a day.
I am so looking forward to this one!
Peter Wilson's book The Thirty Years War: Europe's Tragedy is one of my favorite books on the defining conflict of the 17 century.
Any chance that Dr. Wilson would be willing to do an AMA at some point?
Oh wow! Big fan of Peter Wilson, hyped!
I just finished reading Q by Luther Blissett, a novel based around the political and religious conflicts and intrigues of this period and place, so this is going to be very nice context!
I'm a new subscriber, and the ending got me confused. 'Next week, we will be joined by Brian Wattson [that's what i heard, might not be the name]. Have a nice two-weeks, guys." So are new episodes released every week, or every two weeks? Thanks in advance.
I'm finally getting around to listening to the podcast! Thank you so much for all your work, as always. :)
Peter Wilson is my man! Loved his book on the thirty years war
