Podcasts about storm the beginning

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemyA stock rhetorical trope on the right is to invoke ancient Rome when talking about American decline—often making direct comparisons between the Goth invaders and contemporary immigrants, obsessing over homosexuality and Rome's fall, and more. If their understanding of history isn't very serious, what should we make of these appeals? And are there any "lessons" we should learn from Roman history?There's no better time to take up such matters than while Matt is in Rome, and there was no one better for him to talk with about them than Mike Duncan, the prolific and brilliant history podcaster; he currently hosts the Revolutions podcast and, especially relevant for the purposes of this conversation, hosted the History of Rome podcast from 2007-2012, a project that led him to write The Story Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic (2017). Matt and Mike discuss the use and abuse of history, how "norms" do and do not matter, the relationship between imperialist foreign policy and domestic politics, the perils of vast income inequality, then and now, and more.Sources:For quotes from conservatives about Roman decline: Reagan, Nixon, Buchanan, Vance (and Pete Navarro & Michael Anton)Mike Duncan, The Storm Before the Storm(2017)— Hero of Two Worlds: The Marquis de Lafayette in the Age of Revolution (2021)

O morís como un héroe, o vivís lo suficiente para verte convertido EN EL VILLANO. Eso es lo que le pasó a Cayo Mario, que en su carrera de ambición descontrolada por ser siete veces cónsul y cumplir una profecía, paso de ser el tercer fundador de Roma a un tirano sediento de sangre. Hoy cerramos su historia con su caída definitiva. Su escape de los escuadrones de la muerte de Sila, su exilio en África, su regreso y su locura.

Cayo Mario se niega a abandonar su lugar en la política romana, aunque da muestras de senilidad. Para lograr cumplir la profecía y obtener su séptimo consulado, va a hacer todo para obtener el comando de la guerra contra Mitrídates. Eso implica enviar al ostracismo a su rival, Sila. Mario no tiene idea de quién es Sila y de lo que es capaz de hacer. Para salvar la república, Sila asesinará a la república. En este episodio ¡Sila ataca!

Hasta ahora, nuestro relato sobre la Caída de la República Romana ha sido una historia de exceso tras exceso cometido en el nombre de salvar Roma. Es hora de que hablemos del hombre que cometió el exceso más grande de todos. Pero para esto, primero tenemos que entender de donde vino. Hablemos de orígenes.

To kick off Season 6, we bring you the story of America's Favorite Fighting Frenchmen. In 1777, the Marquis de Lafayette sailed from France with a commission as a major general in the Continental Army. Unlike many other European soldiers of fortune, Lafayette paid his own way and had no expectation that he would be placed at the head of American forces. We best remember Lafayette for his service in the American Revolution, his close relationship with George Washington, and the key to the Bastille that now hangs in the main entrance to Washington's Mount Vernon. But Lafayette was more than meets the eye. On today's show, podcasting legend and author Mike Duncan joins Jim Ambuske to discuss his new book, Hero of Two Worlds: The Marquis de Lafayette in the Age of Revolution, published by PublicAffairs Books in 2021. You may know Duncan from his two podcasts, The History of Rome and Revolutions, and in his latest book, he tackles a complex man who was at the center of the Age of Democratic Revolutions. It's great to be back with you; we have a great season ahead of us, and we have a brand new segment in which our guests talk about the work that inspires them. About our Guest: Mike Duncan is one of the most popular history podcasters in the world and author of the New York Times–bestselling book, The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic. His award-winning series, The History of Rome, remains a legendary landmark in the history of podcasting. Duncan's ongoing series, Revolutions, explores the great political revolutions that have driven the course of modern history. His most recent book is Hero of Two Worlds: The Marquis de Lafayette in the Age of Revolution.

Cayo Mario es el primer hombre de Roma. Ha derrotado a Yugurta, a Cimbrios y a Teutones. Mario es cónsul seis veces, cinco consecutivas. Nadie ha conocido gloria más grande. Sin embargo, los poderes ocultos que lo han ayudado a llegar a donde está se asoman de a poco. Les presento a Saturnino, un tribuno populista que desde las sombras ha intrigado para que Mario se mantenga en el poder. Mario le debe muchos favores. Y en una carrera desesperada por el poder, Saturnino aparecerá para cobrárselos todos juntos. El Diablo nunca olvida un pacto. La colisión será inevitable.

Tiberio Graco está muerto, y con él, podrían estar muertos los años más revolucionarios de Roma. Pero no será así, porque tras de él vendrá alguien más radical, más incendiario, más provocador. Es como Tiberio, pero su poder es más de 9000. Es la versión mejorada y extrema de Tiberio. Es Cayo Graco, y cuando termine, Roma nunca será la misma. Imagen: los hermanos Graco, según Caravantes.

The Roman Republic was one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of civilization. Beginning as a small city-state in central Italy, Rome gradually expanded into a wider world filled with petty tyrants, barbarian chieftains, and despotic kings. Through the centuries, Rome's model of cooperative and participatory government remained remarkably durable and unmatched in the history of the ancient world. In 146 BC, Rome finally emerged as the strongest power in the Mediterranean. But the very success of the Republic proved to be its undoing. The republican system was unable to cope with the vast empire Rome now ruled: rising economic inequality disrupted traditional ways of life, endemic social and ethnic prejudice led to clashes over citizenship and voting rights, and rampant corruption and ruthless ambition sparked violent political clashes that cracked the once indestructible foundations of the Republic. Chronicling the years 146-78 BC, Mike Duncan's book The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic (PublicAffairs, 2017) dives headlong into the first generation to face this treacherous new political environment. Abandoning the ancient principles of their forbearers, men like Marius, Sulla, and the Gracchi brothers set dangerous new precedents that would start the Republic on the road to destruction and provide a stark warning about what can happen to a civilization that has lost its way.

Antes de Julio César, antes que Mario o que Sila, un personaje lista C, que en otro momento hubiera sido irrelevante, expuso a la vista de todos la podredumbre que consumía el tuétano de la república romana. Podredumbre que la terminaría destruyendo una generación después. Salustio, contemporáneo de César, decía que todos los problemas que destruyeron la república comenzaron con este personaje. Hablamos de Yugurta, rey de Numidia. Yugurta expuso esta podredumbre a través de un control evidente de los asuntos romanos desde el extranjero. Aunque el tiempo en el cual lo hizo fue breve, el nivel de control a través de sobornos y extorsión, sumado a su inteligencia excepcional y sus habilidades militares, lo convierten en un Frank Underwood del pasado. En circunstancias que parecen demasiado raras para ser reales, Yugurta visita Roma para asegurar por si mismo su golpe maestro genial. Acompáñennos en nuestro regreso a Roma en este episodio lleno de intriga. Imagen: Yugurta, El león del desierto, por Jean-Luc Vernal, ilustraciones de Hermann. Fuentes / Textos - DUNCAN, Mike.

Mike Duncan, host of The History of Rome podcast and Revolutions, constantly gets asked "Is America doomed to the same fate as the Roman Empire?"  Today he points to some startling parallels to US current events including populist demagoguery, economic inequality, the erosion of societal norms, and debate over who deserves to be a citizen.  He also offers ideas on how the American Republic can avoid the same fate as the Roman Republic before it's too late.

History podcasting mastermind Mike Duncan joined Ryan for a few drinks in Washington for our latest episode. Rome is what brought them together — more specifically his New York Times best-selling book, The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic. The book tells the story of Rome from 146 to 78 BC. In this wide-ranging conversation, they cover the challenges of writing ancient vs. modern history, going from fishmongering to podcasting (and making a living at it!), his show Revolutions, and why those of us living at this particular time in history should be eager to understand what happened to the Roman Republic.  Produced by Tre Hester

Political polarization, inequality, and corruption during the period 146 to 78 BC gravely weakened the Roman Republic in the years before its collapse. In his new book “The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Late Republic,” podcaster Mike Duncan explores this period and how Rome’s politics, which emerged from Rome’s success, subsequently led to the republic’s downfall. Benjamin Wittes interviewed Duncan on his new book to discuss ancient and modern populisms, the parallels between the late Roman Republic and current American politics, and the impact of demagoguery on government.

This week, Bombshell bids farewell to summer with our final distributed ops episode, closing out what has been a nice, quiet August (ha. ha). Afghanistan is, as usual, still a thing, but this time President Trump - or his teleprompter - actually gave us some thoughts on the matter. We lament waking up to a nuclear test in North Korea and the latest chapters in the Kenyan election and China-India border disputes, and drill down on how everything became about readiness and readiness became about everything: the Seventh Fleet, the Army, DACA, you name it. Finally, we give our take on John Kelly's efforts at discipline in the West Wing and the continuing parade of White House departures, as well as views on Back to School reading and "book dates" with your partner. Readings: "Why India did not Win the Standoff with China," M. Taylor Fravel, War on the Rocks "Welcome to the H-Bomb Club, North Korea," Ankit Panda and Vipin Narang, War on the Rocks "Xi says BRICS nations should stand up against protectionism," Lousie Watt, AP "Deadly Navy accidents in the Pacific raise questions over a force stretched too thin," Alex Horton and Thomas Gibbons-Neff, Washington Post "How the U.S. Navy's Fleet has been on a collision course for years," by David Larter, Defense News "U.S. Army Unprepared to Deal with Russia in Europe," Wesley Morgan, Politico "Analysis: Could Trump’s Transgender Military Ban Actually Become Policy?" Julie Moreau, NBC News Back to School Reading: A Life in Secrets: Vera Atkins and the Missing Agents of WWII, by Sarah Helm The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made, by Walter Isaacson The Federalist Papers The Undoing Project, Michael Lewis A Gentleman in Moscow, Amor Towles In Light of What we Know, Zia Haider Rahman The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic, Mike Duncan The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher, Debby Applegate The Alice Network, Kate Quinn
