he mike the episode is broken

[Dean]

Hey Mike, not sure if this is an issue for others but I'm getting intermittent bits of silence in the audio (for example right after the intro music).

[James]

Yup, broken. Long random silences, even after deleting and re-downloading.

[Jack]

This is broken Mike!

[Marco]

Yup something wrong with this episode

Can I request a podcast on Justinian

I’d still like to know if you’re going to cover Protocols of the Elders of Zion at any point in this series. I mean, it was literally made by the Russian government in 1903 as propaganda for appeasing the masses in the Empire, and there has to be some point between 1903 and 1925 that antisemitism directly affected revolutionary thought or efforts.

The episode works for me.

One thing I found fascinating is Mike mentioning there are racist paintings that Kaiser Wilhelm sent to Tsar Nicholas of Nicky saving the world from the Japanese. Does anyone know an example? They may have all been destroyed, which is probably for the best, but if there's an example I'd be be interested in seeing it.
