Darryl, I’m only 2 hrs in but I already believe this will be your best series. Great job!

As an fyi to other fans, I think some good background context to this episode are some series on the inward empire podcast- soldiers of capital covers the pinkertons, and the great strike covers the railroad strike of 1877

I’m not sure who ran that podcast but possibly a guest in a future martyr made conversation style podcast?

Sam Davis was/is one of the kings of the history podcast space. I think he retired the show though; it sounded like COVID and overall burnout was a factor. He and I have actually been chatting occasionally about having him on my show to discuss it and really anything else that comes to mind. I couldn't tell you if he was planning to bring the show back, but that would be amazing. So that's why I second this recommendation wholeheartedly, including the idea of Darryl having him on. I'm planning to relisten to those episodes while listening to this series for the very reason you laid out.

Yes, anyone here should check out Inward Empire. The entire basis of the podcast is the myths surrounding American foundations and culture. The same lens could easily be used to examine any liberal democracy, and it would invariably lead to some awkward questions with unsatisfactory answers.
