What was the song at the end of this episode?

Factory Troll

Haha, this episode is so good I have to go back and unlike some of the old ones.

Karl Knight

Haven't listened to this episode yet (will tonight)... just wondering if Mark Ames and Abby Martin had their interview? Anyone know?

James Christensen

Great episode, looking forward to reading the book recommendations! The website those Biafran secessionists run is also pretty interesting (thebiafratelegraph.com). I don't think I have a clear grip on how much their movement actually resonates with most people in Igboland and the Niger Delta though.

The CIA is trying to frame it as "their commitment to transparency," but the CREST release was actually the result of a FOIA lawsuit by my organization, MuckRock. The whole story behind the suit - and the CIA's creepy/dumb arguments for why they couldn't put the docs online - is pretty good reading: <a href="https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2017/jan/19/three-year-saga-behind-CIA-release/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.muckrock.com/news/archives/2017/jan/19/three-year-saga-behind-CIA-release/</a>

Will we ever get an episode on the wars of the Indian subcontinent between India & Pakistan. Perhaps the only place where a large conventional war can actually take place.

Quick note to trolls—fuck off back to your twitter playground, you will be deleted and blocked here.

Kevin Hickey

can anyone recommend some good books written in west african english?

dave from outer space

Since you mentioned it in the show, can you suggest some Russian writers . When is your translation ready, and why does Pleasant Hell cost so much?

Carlquist Harris

Yeah, Wallace railed against the "pointy headed intellectuals".

radiowarnerd

I was raised by my father, who ran the money-losing "Dolan School of Memory and Rapid Reading." I kept the grudge and the technique.

Adrian Johansson

You guys should really have Jordan B Peterson on. He's captivating as shit when he talks about how monstrous humans can be and how you need to be capable of being a monster to defend yourself in the world. He's also an expert on the Evils of totalitarian states, all of them. He's mostly known for his strong stance on Free Speech in (the Soviet Socialist Republic of) Canada but, he's absolutely amazing and he makes a strong case that free speech is the basis of a civilized society. I think having him on would bring out a great perspective on war that we don't often see, mostly we've seen it in the Books on Killing and On Combat !

Stephen Joseph

Fag Vs fag was one of the best. I've got it on hard copy but cant find on the internet anymore ..... perhaps the title has been changed??

Benjamin Glover

Could I get the names of the two books mentioned?

Kit Rhett Aultman

Hey, Dr. Dolan...I noticed you said you'd never seen Casablanca, but you did mention in a prior episode watching it with your brother and questioning why it's a classic. :D

Ryan Mcnabb

Fascinating episode. Please do two Africa stories: 1). Kenya. 2). King Leopold in the Congo. Thank you so much for all your work.

radiowarnerd

I saw a clip of the famous piano scene and just felt embarrassed at how bad it was. I'm not saying I was right. It was that feeling Beavis and Butthead have watching an old driver's ed movie: "This movie is back from when people were stupid." I believe the Germans call this Urdummheit.

radiowarnerd

Well, in reverse order...Pleasant Hell: because I'm too feckless to get it republished. The Iliad is scheduled for Autumn 2017. And my favorites are Bulgakov, Limonov, Gogol and Tsvetayeva.

radiowarnerd

Have you read Tutuola's Palm Wine Drunkard and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts?

radiowarnerd

No, I don't either. We need to get somebody from there on the show. If anybody knows a likely candidate, send me a message.

Adrian Johansson

I think he would be very interested in the attempted Genocide of Armenians by Azerbaijan and the forgotten evils in Africa and you could come from two different directions to talk about stuff like that and it would be really interesting. He might also be able to help you map out your journey from a Reagan supporter to the War Nerd as well.

Oskaras Funk

Is there any chance you would divulge that technique for us, the slow-reading masses?

David Andrews

Thanks again for a another very informative episode. I knew absolutely nothing about Gambia. Here's a small suggestion that would greatly benefit newer subscribers: Please mark the time where the subject matter begins and where the current events updates ends. If the current events section is no longer current, one might want to skip that bit. I normally enjoy it but it would be nice to have an option. Thanks again.

David Andrews

They'll have to get self help guru Dr. Jordan Peterson out of drug rehab in order to bring him on the show. On second thought, best give this darling of the alt-right where he is.
