Great podcast. Consider getting a sound engineer to EQ this recording for you and getting some sound treatment in your studio for the next one. It sounds like you are sitting in a racquetball court. Makes it hard to listen to for me. I'd be willing to give the sound EQ a shot for you. I'm not a pro sound engineer but have dabbled with my own recordings and have the software to try it.
Yeah, the sound quality is the first thing i noticed. Darryl does offer actually good content, which is why keep listening, but on the other, he is offering a paid product, and podcasting is a competitive field. Which is to say, i suppose, that if the quality of the content would drop, which probably would never happen, i cant see myself spending three hours on subpar sound quality.
Edit by way of a comment. I record some music at home so i know how difficult the technicalities of recording can be. Nothing but love for the podcast and respect for Darryl.
Really enjoyed the episode and I learned a lot. Such an interesting period in time- between the two World Wars. One thing that resonated with me was the Bolsheviks purposely using women so they could use the government's values against them. A tactic still employed today. I hadn't really thought about it being by design.
Loved this episode and yeah I agree with Dale you could definitely use some mixing. I’m always happy to help also I’ve had years of experience doing audio engineering
This series will be one for the ages. great granularity and detail. We know the enemy must not be hated but understood. I second what has been said before though, the audio needs improvement. Thank you!
I had to drive to the beach and back this weekend and it's about 2 hours each way - since it was just me, I blasted this new episode the whole ride. It use to be Led Zeppelin or Robert Palmer back in the day... now I blast straight Daryl
Thank you Mr. Cooper for covering a period my schooling completely just, well, skipped right over.
Thank you for this work.
I think it’s fabulous.
And more relevant today than I could have possibly imagined - I DO NOT MEAN the German and American conditions are anything close to the same - I mean relevant because you are talking about communism the way I believe it should be talked about.
You speak to its evil with a clarity that I believe could change people were they to listen and feel this episode.
Sound quality sounds great for me. I am the first person to ditch a podcaster if their audio sucks, regardless of amazing content. So it must not be THAT bad. genuinely curious if it literally sounds different or if my taste is indeed that bad.
Darryl, you're a national treasure. But please, for the love of God, learn to summarize this shit. We're 8+ hours into this "WW2" series, plus a prelude, and you've just made it to 1919. I'd like to finish this series before my teenage children retire. At this point we'll have GTA7 and two new TOOL albums before you wrap it up.
I disagree. I enjoy the detail. The granular examination of a topic from multiple perspectives until a cohesive narrarive begins to form. I like to think of these as encyclopedias of distilled knowledge from books I don't have time to read, so the more information the more value to me.
Loved this episode as usual Darryl. As one of your left leaning viewers I wanted to respond to something you said on the last Provoked.
It really was disappointing when you tried to make a point about how corporations over the last decades have “held the same political positions that those on the left have”.
Dude have you just completely missed everything that’s changed since Trump has been back in office in terms of companies being more than happy to eliminate any type of diversity programs, not change their logos to rainbow colors for a month, and everything else they’ve been doing?
To answer your question directly Darryl, people on the left have never questioned that corporations seemed to hold the same views as us because we’ve known all along they’re full of shit and never actually did.
It might also be worth mentioning that when it comes to issues related to Trans people I’ve always broken hard from the current position of the left and was saying three years ago that it would be THE thing that we’d look back on as what shifted enough votes to Trump to make him win. And got called a bigot constantly for.
But again, since he’s been back, there’s been a huge willingness in the corporate world to walk away from that shit as well

Yes. It’s noticeable and off putting.
Unrelated, but I've really been enjoying your Provoked podcasts recently. Your empathy inspires me to be a better human. Thank you!

This is by far my favorite podcast now. Keep up the great work and looking forward to future episodes. Episode was amazing and interesting.
Great show Daryl! Thanks for your work

I’m an hour and a half in. You’re back! Phenomenal stuff, and reminds me why I’m a subscriber.
