Last month, on May 14th, we were joined by nearly 800 listeners in New York City for the first ever Know Your Enemy live show, "Decline and Fall." The event was a fundraiser for Dissent, so we called in the big guns, our great friend Mike Duncan, to join us on stage. Many KYE listeners will be familiar with Mike, the brilliant and prolific host of the Revolutions and, especially relevant for the purposes of this conversation, History of Rome podcasts. We discuss how the right talks about decline, their hilariously ignorant invocations of Rome, our very symptomatic obsession with political decline and dissolution, the power of nostalgia and declension narrative—and then answer audience questions! Thank you again to everyone who joined us in person, to Mike Duncan, to Patrick Iber and Rosalie Ryan and everyone at Dissent, to our intrepid producer Jesse Brenneman (who was able to fly in from Montana to join us), to listeners near and far who so generously continue to support Know Your Enemy!

“To explain the lives of people living in this moment, to look at the historical forces that are shaping all of us, you have to look at business and technology. In our period, what is it that's shaping us? I would suggest it's the long fallout from the 2008 financial crisis and the technology revolution that's been happening in California.” — Alexander Starritt How to write a novel about our times? For Alexander Starritt, it means juxtaposing friendship and ambition alongside the grand historical forces of the age. Just as George Eliot did in Middlemarch. Whereas for Eliot, those forces were the 1832 Reform Acts and the industrial revolution, Starritt's forces are the 2008 financial crisis and the digital revolution. His novel, Drayton and Mackenzie, longlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year, follows two ambitious Gen X'ers through the first two decades of the twenty-first century. The 2008 crash, Starritt says, ruined the lives of many of his generation. Rather than being in a Gramscian interregnum, our brave new 21st century world is already visible. But in contrast with many progressive critics of our neo-liberalism age, Starritt isn't apocalyptic about the future. Think of Drayton and Mackenzie as Middlemarch and McKinsey. Revolutions will come and go, but, for Alexander Starritt, friendship and ambition are unchanging. Five Takeaways •       The First Novel on the FT Business Book List in 15 Years: The Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year longlist typically features books on China, AI, and tech giants. In 2025, for the first time in fifteen years, it included a novel. Starritt's reading of why: there's a gap. The literary and cultural worlds have become so estranged from the business world that very few writers are even attempting to write seriously about the forces that actually shape people's lives. That gap, he says, says as much about the cultural moment as any quality the book itself might have. •       George Eliot's Method: Historical Forces as the Engine of Fiction: When George Eliot wrote Middlemarch, the historical forces she was dramatising were the Reform Acts and the industrial revolution. Starritt's equivalent: the 2008 financial crisis and the California tech revolution. His method is Eliot's — use a closely observed relationship (in his case, a male friendship rather than a marriage) as the engine through which the reader experiences history. The friendship gives the historical canvas an emotional charge. The historical canvas gives the friendship its full weight. Neither works without the other. •       Male Friendship: The Most Important Relationship Nobody Writes About: We've all read too many books and seen too many films about romantic and sexual relationships. Starritt's observation: there is another type of relationship — friendship — that is incredibly important to almost all of us, and that gets almost no literary attention. Drayton and Mackenzie is his attempt to take it seriously. The friendship between James (straight-lined, disciplined, brilliant) and Roland (impulsive, self-sabotaging, charming) evolves from incomprehension to something described by the Financial Times as “unbreakable” — and the reviewer admitted that by the end, their vision wasn't the clearest. •       The Post-Liberal World Is Already Here: Everyone quotes Gramsci's interregnum — the old world is dying, the new one hasn't been born yet. Starritt's counter: the new world has already been born. You can see it everywhere across the Western world. British jobs for British workers. Reshoring manufacturing. Keeping out undesirable foreigners. There is, he notes, quite a lot of consensus about these things, even if the discourse around them is contested. The post-liberal world is already here. The question is not whether it will arrive but what we do with it. •       European Optimism: The Separation From America May Be for Europe's Own Good: Starritt's closing optimism, which he acknowledges may not be welcome news for American listeners: the painful separation from America that America is forcing upon Europe is probably, in the long run, for Europe's own good. Rather than relying on the White House, Europeans can take responsibility for themselves. David Runciman's idea: democracy needs to be renewed every generation. The external pressure of China, Russia, and an America that no longer wants to help may be the forcing function that produces that renewal. Maybe we can get some agency back. About the Guest Alexander Starritt is a Scottish novelist and entrepreneur. He was born in 1985 and is the author of Drayton and Mackenzie (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026), We Germans (winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize), and The Beast (a 2017 Spectator book of the year). He was a founding team member of the policy platform Apolitical. He lives in London. References: •       Drayton and Mackenzie by Alexander Starritt (Atlantic Monthly Press, June 2, 2026). •       George Eliot, Middlemarch — Starritt's primary literary model, referenced explicitly. •       Adrian Wooldridge, “Bring Back the Big Business Novel,” Bloomberg — the piece referenced at the opening. •       David Runciman — referenced for his argument about democratic renewal. •       Michael Chabon, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay — the Financial Times comparison. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic.

The French Revolution that began in 1789 like the American Revolution that began in 1776 were both revolts against a king and against despotic rule. Both sought the expansion of human liberty and both intended to form republican governments. But that's where the similarity stops and the contrast between the American Revolution and the French Revolution could not be starker. What made the difference? Our guest this week, Dr. Joseph Loconte, addressed this question at a conference at The Institute of Faith and Freedom at Grove City College, Dr. Joseph Loconte, director of The Rivendell Center in New York City in a lecture entitled “Reason, Revelation, and Revolution.”

Air Date: 5–26-2026 Today we examine what separates successful revolutions from failed ones, ask why so many revolutions of the 2010s fell short, understand how revolutionary energy gets neutralized, and explore the strategic case for nonviolent resistance.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The words are carved in copper at the foot of the Statue of Liberty. Today, that promise looks like a dead letter. ICE raids at dawn, separated families, the National Guard in the streets. The criminalization of migrants is no longer exceptional. It's an assumed policy.Latinos — the largest minority in the country, an economic force decisive in swing states — live between exploitation, the permanent threat of deportation, and the need to be seen.In Atlanta, two women map that reality from the inside.Gigi Pedraza left Peru, lived in Chicago and Boston, before settling in Atlanta — a city emblematic of the civil rights movement, proud of its "Atlanta way" of getting along. She founded the Latino Community Fund Georgia when she realized her community was everywhere in the state — and invisible in its official story.Jennifer — a pseudonym she chose — crossed the border from Mexico as a child, without legal status. She learned early to navigate a system designed to keep her on the margins — until Freedom University helped her find a way through.Together, they give voice to a reality that remains largely undocumented — like so many of the people who live it.What's Left of the American Dream? / Que reste-t-il du rêve américain ? is a bilingual documentary series by Walid Hajar Rachedi. Set in Atlanta — the city of Martin Luther King Jr., a “Black Mecca” and a new crossroads of migration — during the first 100 days of Donald Trump's second term in 2025, it explores the stories of those who still live the American Dream, those who question it, and those who never believed in it.Editorial and sound support for this episode : Ryad Maouche.___Find all our stories on frictions.co.Follow Frictions on Instagram, Facebook, X !Hébergé par Ausha.

Elle a fondé le Latino Community Fund Georgia quand elle a réalisé que sa communauté était partout dans l'État - et absente de son récit.Jennifer - un pseudonyme qu'elle a choisi - a traversé la frontière depuis le Mexique enfant, sans papiers. Elle a appris tôt à naviguer dans un système conçu pour la maintenir en marge, jusqu'à ce que Freedom University l'aide à trouver une brèche.Ensemble, elles donnent voix à une réalité qui reste largement non documentée, comme tant de ceux qui la vivent.___Retrouvez-nous tous nos contenus sur frictions.co.Suivez Frictions sur Instagram, Facebook, X !Vous ne recevez pas encore notre newsletter ?

Dan Edelstein is a professor of French, history, and political science at Stanford University. He's also the author of several books on revolution and the Enlightenment, including The Revolution to Come: A History of an Idea from Thucydides to Lenin, Let There Be Enlightenment: The Religious and Mystical Sources of Rationality, Scripting Revolution: A Historical Approach to the Comparative Study of Revolutions, and The Enlightenment: A Genealogy. Greg and Dan discuss the changing meaning of “revolution” as an idea rather than a catalog of revolts. Dan explains how Greeks distinguished violent upheaval (stasis) from regime change, how “revolution” entered political vocabulary via Polybius's rediscovered Book VI, and how fears of cyclical instability shaped mixed-constitution thinking from antiquity to the American founders.  They contrast pre-1789 “revolution” as restoration (including England's Glorious Revolution) with the French Revolution's progress-driven, consensus-seeking model that produces counterrevolution, factional purges, and a “Red Leviathan.” The discussion covers Enlightenment cultural uses of “revolution,” the ancients-vs-moderns debate and historical progress, differences between Anglo-American common-law rights and French state-centered reform, the tainted term in 1989, revolutionary “playbooks,” and how literary training and novels illuminate revolutionary psychology. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: From preserving order to accelerating history 12:42: Once this new-fangled idea of historical progress starts to get going in France in the 18th century, suddenly you can have a totally different vision of yourself. You're not just trying to prevent change and maintain the existing situation as long as you can. Suddenly, you might become an accelerator—you might become—and this is when the word "revolutionary" emerges in France, in 1789—you want to be on the right side of history. You want to be, you know, in favor of progress. And so I think that this new idea, both about history and about the role of revolutions in this sort of progressive vision of history, it really has huge effects on how people think about themselves, how they act, and ultimately how these historical revolutions from 1789 onward play out. Why ancient thinkers designed politics to prevent revolution 06:52: For people, even before Polybius, people like Plato and Aristotle, this did become the question of political thought. Like, how do you prevent a state from being ripped apart by division and just leading to this kind of destruction and death that accompanies revolutions? And this is where we get the idea of a well-balanced constitution. Protection vs. power  39:02: The English and the Americans, you know, there's just this deep skepticism towards the government. You want to really protect the individual from governmental encroachment. The French are almost coming to the revolution wanting to empower the government for good, like it's going to solve all our problems.

Welcome back to When Words Fail, Music Speaks, the podcast that explores the healing power of music with the people who live it every day. In today's episode, host James Cox sits down with a true musical chameleon – Jeff Young, the former Megadeth guitarist whose story stretches far beyond the thrash‑metal spotlight.From the gritty rehearsal rooms of Boston to the buzzing festivals of Canada, Jeff recounts life on the road with Kings of Thrash, the frantic pace of touring, and the unforgettable moments that make every gig feel like a trip back to 1987. He dives deep into his formative years at the Guitar Institute of Technology, where legends such as Frank Gambale, Steve Morris, and Tommy Tedesco shaped his education, and reflects on how formal training both sharpened his technique and challenged his creative instincts.The conversation quickly widens, tracing Jeff's love for funk in Dayton, his immersion in Brazilian rhythms and flamenco, and his reverence for jazz greats like Frank Gambale and Scott Henderson. He shares the story behind his newest record, Revolutions – a labor‑of‑love analog project recorded on two‑inch tape, a statement against the digital overwhelm of today's music world.Listeners will also get insider anecdotes about missed opportunities (a David Lee Roth gig, a Steve Vai invitation), the tragedy and triumph of Jason Becker's legacy, and how Jeff's eclectic palette—rock, jazz, classical, world music—continues to evolve.Stay tuned as we unpack the myth, the music, and the man behind the metal, and discover why Jeff Young's voice is far more than a riff—it's a bridge between genres, cultures, and generations.Grab your headphones, let the vibes lift your frequency, and remember: when words fail, music speaks.

Send us a text by clicking this link!A pope in 1832 looks out at Europe and sees something most people still refuse to name: ideas can riot. Revolutions do not stay in streets and parliaments. They move into schools, pulpits, newspapers, and finally into the way ordinary people talk about truth, conscience, and God. That's the world behind Pope Gregory XVI's Mirari Vos, and it's why we wanted to start a series that reads encyclicals with real historical context instead of treating them like disconnected quotes.We set the stage with the French Revolution's de-Christianization, Napoleon's assault on the papacy, and the postwar attempt to rebuild order at the Congress of Vienna. Then we track the flare-up of revolts in 1830 to 1831 and the strange internal pressure coming from inside the Church: the rise of a famous priest, Lamennais, who argues Catholicism will “thrive under liberty” if it embraces freedom of conscience, freedom of the press, and separation of Church and state. Gregory's response is blunt, and we read the sections that hit hardest today: religious indifferentism, the claim that any religion can save if you're “moral,” and the downstream collapse that follows when truth becomes optional.We also talk about publishing, propaganda, and why the Church historically used tools like the imprimatur and even bans on harmful books, plus Gregory's warning about coordinated attacks on clerical celibacy. If you care about Catholic tradition, Catholic social teaching, and the roots of today's Church-state arguments, this one will give you a framework that's bigger than the latest headline.Subscribe, share this with a friend who argues about “religious freedom,” and leave a review. After you listen, drop a comment with the line from Mirari Vos that felt most controversial to you today.Support the showGet 10% off an amazing Black Monk Rosary by going to https://www.blackmonkrosaries.com/?ref=AVOIDINGBABYLON and using code AVOIDINGBABYLON at checkout!Check out our sponsor, Nic Nac, at www.nicnac.com and use code "AB25%" for 25% off of your first order!Please subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKsxnv80ByFV4OGvt_kImjQ?sub_confirmation=1https://www.avoidingbabylon.comMerchandise: https://avoiding-babylon-shop.fourthwall.comLocals Community: https://avoidingbabylon.locals.comFull Premium/Locals Shows on Audio Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1987412/subscribeRSS Feed for Podcast Apps: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1987412.rss

Between 1763 and 1848, revolutions swept across four continents. We tend to remember three of them — the American, the French, and the Haitian Revolutions. But what about all the rest? And what connected them to each other? In this episode, we're bringing back our conversation with Janet Polasky, Presidential Professor of History Emerita at the University of New Hampshire and author of Revolutions Without Borders: The Call to Liberty in the Atlantic World, and Paul Mapp, Associate Professor of History at William & Mary, who helps us understand why historians are increasingly looking at the American Revolution through an international lens.Together, they reveal why the Age of Revolutions happened when it did, how the American Revolution fit within this larger Atlantic-wide moment of upheaval, and how revolutionary ideas traveled across borders through people, print, and rumor.

Revolutions: A New History (Verso Books, 2025) is a sparkling account of political upheaval and the power of history. We think of revolutions in terms of fleeting events, such as the fall of the Bastille or the storming of the Winter Palace. In reality, they take decades to burn out, if they ever do.Historian Donald Sassoon takes the long view of some of the most famous upheavals: the English Civil War, the American War of Independence, the national uprisings that unified Italy and Germany, and the French, Russian and Chinese revolutions. This is a history rich in irony and surprises. As Sassoon shows in this tour de force account, revolutions usually catch revolutionaries themselves by surprise, and the consequences are difficult to fathom at any remove. Revolutions will change how you think about the transformative moments in history, both big and small.

"Revolutions are never won by the ruling class... if you want to fix healthcare, you have to be willing to accept a negative sum game. Someone is losing."Why are self-funded employers still paying for healthcare on a "fee-for-service" basis, where every single transaction is billed separately with zero guarantee of a positive outcome?My guests this week are Francois and Jeremy from XO Health, a new type of health plan built explicitly for self-funded employers. Instead of relying on traditional, opaque carrier networks (the "BUCAs"), XO Health is introducing a new accounting system for healthcare: the Care Package.In this episode, we explore how XO packages an entire episode of care - from a knee replacement to the ongoing management of chronic diabetes or maternity - into a single, predictable, fixed price. We discuss how this model shifts financial accountability back to the provider (while also protecting them through embedded risk corridors and "mini-spec" policies), eliminates the perverse incentives of traditional networks, and ultimately allows employers to offer a health plan that employees actually want to use (complete with "hugs and kisses" for $0 out-of-pocket costs).If you are an employer or a benefits consultant tired of 10% medical trend and unpredictable renewals, this episode provides a blueprint for how true risk-sharing can finally fix the system.Thank you to our 2026 sponsors!ParetoHealth: ParetoHealth empowers midsize employers with a long-term solution to reduce volatility and lower overall health benefits costs.

When President Trump didn't annihilate “a whole civilization” on Tuesday, as he had threatened to do, much of the world exhaled. But the damage of his statements — a U.S. president, the commander in chief of the world's most powerful military, threatening to commit war crimes — continues to linger in the shadow of an uncertain cease-fire. Fareed Zakaria is the host of CNN's “Fareed Zakaria GPS” and the author of “Age of Revolutions” and other books. In this conversation, we discuss whether Trump's threats on Truth Social worked as a negotiating tactic, the significance of crossing this kind of moral line and how the decline of American leadership is already reshaping the world. This episode contains strong language. Mentioned: Age of Revolutions by Fareed Zakaria “The Predatory Hegemon” by Stephen M. Walt “Iran is an imperial trap. America walked right in.” by Fareed Zakaria Book Recommendations: A World Safe for Democracy by G.

This week, we present a very special Revolutions Per Movie Live recording of Kevin McDonald Superstar, a rip-roaring comic rock opera performed to a sold-out crowd at the Clinton Street Theater in Portland, Oregon. Written by McDonald, Kevin McDonald Superstar is based on the true story of his relationship with his girlfriend “Cheater” and a stupid, awful thing he did in New York City while traveling with the Kids in the Hall.The show boasts an eclectic cast of stellar comedic and musical talent, including Scott McCaughey (of The Minus 5 & R.E.M.), Chaki (The Funk Wizard! of RPM's URGH and Midnight Special podcasts), Jennifer Faust & Brian Kunkel (of Denim Wedding), Suzanne Foster, Julia Corral, and, of course, Kevin McDonald himself. AND… exclusively for RPM's Patreon supporters: Following the Superstar performance, Kevin and I had an out-of-control live interview, including the most excitable, whirling dervish Q&A ever committed — where Kevin talked about everything from the creation of various Kids In The Hall sketches to his tragic high school rock band, to the night the Kids In The Hall had to bail Bruce out of jail after insulting a member of The Black Crowes. It was incredible! This episode is available to supporters of the Revolutions Per Movie Patreon over at patreon.com/revolutionspermovie. I hope you'll consider joining for $5 per month, to get the RPM 7” flexidisc and access to 117 exclusive bonus RPM episodes like this one.So prepare to rock out and laugh out loud at this unforgettable rock opera that showcases McDonald's signature offbeat humor and love of music, delivered in the way only he can.SOCIALS:@revolutionspermovieBlueSky: @revpermovieTHEME by Eyelids 'My Caved In Mind'www.musicofeyelids.bandcamp.com ARTWORK by Jeff T.

As we navigate a world of "alternative facts" and corporate-state surveillance, George Orwell's life, times, and pain, transformed into enduring art, like 1984, show us how to be defiant today. Resistance begins in the mind.  This week, we're joined by British critic Dorian Lynskey, author of The Ministry of Truth: The Biography of George Orwell's 1984, to trace the biography of a nightmare. The Orwellian slogan "2+2=5" was taken from Soviet propaganda. Orwell reviewed Assignment in Utopia by Eugene Lyons, an American reporter who confesses in the chapter "The Press Corps Conceals a Famine," to joining with other influential foreign correspondents in Moscow to label Gareth Jones a liar in their articles in exchange for access to the Soviet regime. Lyons and Orwell are both characters in Andrea's film Mr. Jones.  The trauma of 1984 started during the Spanish Civil War, alongside his wife, Eileen Blair, the unsung hero who saved his life and helped him find his voice as an artist, to break through the lies. In Catalonia, Eileen and Eric Blair watched Stalin-backed communists turn a socialist revolution into a paranoid police state. It was here, nearly killed by the "Soviet myth," that they realized nowhere is immune: lies and conformity keep people complacent as the sadists consolidate power.  Orwell's message is clear for us today: in an era of state-sponsored lies, holding onto your humanity is the ultimate act of defiance. Join us to celebrate the power of art and defiance at the book launch of Mrs. Orwell, Andrea's inspiring new graphic novel, illustrated by the genius Brahm Revel.

Most revolutions end in failure.  If they succeed in toppling the bad old regime, they often create a new one that is worse.  "Like Saturn," a French journalist observed in the early 1790s, "the Revolution devours its children."   Why was the American Revolution different?  Legal scholar and political analyst Jonathan Turley explores this question in his new book, Rage and the Republic: The Unfinished Story of the American Revolution.   How did the Americans avoid the horrors other Revolutions? In this conversation we discuss the American Revolution, the history that American revolutionaries carried with them and informed their world, and the role of firebrands like Thomas Paine and Robespierre, and political theorists James Wilson and James Madison.Tell us what you think!

This episode explores the twin revolutions that upended Russia in 1917 and reshaped the course of World War I. Sean and James trace the collapse of the Romanov dynasty, the rise and failures of the Provisional Government, and the growing power of the soviets amid military disaster and social unrest. They then examine how Lenin and the Bolsheviks overthrew the government in November and imposed a harsh new dictatorship backed by the CHEKA. The episode concludes with Russia’s exit from the war at Brest-Litovsk, a decision that carried enormous consequences for both the conflict and the future of Europe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cam Harvey compares technological revolutions through history to the evolution of AI, arguing that it is “completely different.” For example, horse-drawn cab drivers have transitioned into the modern Uber driver – but now self-driving is coming for those jobs. Other areas he sees disrupted are tax preparation and the legal profession. “There's actually four different technological revolutions happening simultaneously,” he argues, a unique occurrence.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Long before crowds stormed Bastille or Winter Palace, Greek thinkers treated revolution as the ultimate civic nightmare. So how did an existential danger morph into a promise of liberation—and what happens when that promise curdles into violence? In this dynamic online forum, Dan Edelstein, Professor of French at Stanford University, is joined by classical-political heavyweights Josiah Ober, Professor of Political Science and Classics at Stanford University, and Melissa Lane, Professorship of Politics at Princeton University, to excavate the deep past of an idea that still jolts headlines and rattles parliaments. Hosted by Anya Leonard. Brought to you by Classical Wisdom, a site dedicated to bringing ancient wisdom to modern minds.

Why curiosity is the best way to start a conversation.No matter how wide political, cultural, and generational divides seem to grow, Fareed Zakaria is convinced: communication has the power to connect.Zakaria is the host of CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, a Washington Post columnist, and author of Age of Revolutions, a book about the seismic societal shifts that define modern history. In his decades of translating complex geopolitical issues for broad audiences, he's found the key to navigating change and conflict. “The most important thing is being genuinely curious,” he says, “genuinely believing that everybody has a story to tell. Everybody has something to teach you. Everybody has a lesson you can learn.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Zakaria and host Matt Abrahams explore how curiosity opens the door to conversation. Whether we're communicating across ideological divides or bridging gaps between our past, present, and future, Zakaria shows why maintaining connection starts with a willingness to learn.Episode Reference Links:Fareed ZakariaFareed's Book: Age of Revolutions Ep.161 Do Your Homework: Know What to Say by Knowing Who You're Talking To Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:27) - The “Age of Revolutions” (04:33) - Do Facts Still Matter?

What if the American Revolution was never just an American story? Historian Ronald Angelo Johnson helps us uncover the deep connections between the American and Haitian Revolutions to reveal how both revolutions emerged from the same Atlantic imperial struggle for empire, racialized power, and war. Using details from his book Entangled Alliances, Ron will guide us from the Treaty of Paris in 1763 to the Siege of Savannah in 1779, where hundreds of Black soldiers from French Saint Domingue landed on Georgia's shores—not as enslaved laborers, but as uniformed volunteers ready to fight for American Independence.

In 1848, a series of Revolutions occurred against European Monarchies across the continent. The revolutions were not part of an organized effort. They were spontaneous and often quite different. Although ultimately unsuccessful, the Revolutions sparked social change across multiple countries, improving the lives of some and strengthening the power of others.  Learn about the Revolutions of 1848 on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

What does it take to become a revolutionary in more than one revolution? In this revisited conversation with Mike Duncan, we explore the life of the Marquis de Lafayette—an ambitious young Frenchman who crossed the Atlantic to fight for the American cause and later carried those lessons into the political storms of France. From early idealism to a complicated role in two upheavals, Lafayette's story reveals how ideas, alliances, and personal relationships shaped the Age of Revolutions. You'll hear how Lafayette became close to George Washington, what he learned in America, and why his legacy makes the most sense when you follow him across borders.
