Top 5 misleading war locations, kind of like the torture was good for the first few seconds, some war locations would have been pretty cool until the mass death occurred. Normandy, Vietnam, pearl harbour “it was actually pretty nice chilling here until…”

In the Columbian Exchange, who made the best gains? New World or Old World? If you bring up the list it's like...damn we did get face munching body rot disease but we also got...potatoes. potatoes and syphilis alone, it's just not clear that those two things don't work out to a net positive surely. on the WHOLE. surely.
Jamie

Loved your GOAT dictator discussion but was disappointed not to hear any mention of Pol Pot. Mao, Hitler and Stalin receive all the plaudits for their tremendous careers but do any of them boast a 25% population death rate of entirely their own people?

James Walker
Have you gone down the rabbit hole of “Germany’s aims in the First World War”? That’s a fun book / thesis. Also would recommend Maus (although you’ve probably already read). I assume that the next evolution of the pod is for a serious discussion about historiography right?
Daniel
Are you planning to do a full episode on 9/11?
OddRon
Could you do an episode on the U.S migration along the Oregon trail please? Something like the Donner Party or massacre of the Whitman mission would be great
Charles Coatsworth
Not a historical question, but lately I've been wondering how big we might be able to make the human penis if we started selectively breeding all the men with the biggest baddest cocks? Any insight much appreciated
George B
The sun was once said to never set upon the British empire. How did upper class British men of the time achieve such a macho and undoubtedly heterosexual achievement, despite being, at least in appearance, such raging benders. I'm talking tight uniforms, moustaches and public school group masterbation sessions. Discuss...
Lewis Burge
Thoughts on Stephen Hawking cheating on his wife??

Joe Wilkinson
Was 9/11 a conspiracy to turn everyone gay?
Lim James
I've written this before on the first one and I shall recite it to the best of my knowledge here now for your pleasure. I recently found out that Goebbels was 5ft 5in. I am quite confident that I could pick him up by the back of the collar and his poofy belt and slam him into a fence post, compressing his spine in the process. I could quite easily beat him up, along with 5ft 7in Himmler, the speccy cunt. My question is, which big dog from the Nazi leadership club do you think you could take in a fight? And as an extension on this, if you had the appropriate Wehrmacht amount of Methamphetamine, who WOULD you like to take in a fight? Given your now infinite strength. This is all. Let discourse begin.

Hi guys, loving the podcast and being part of the Vietmong. If you had to go back in time and be the right hand man to either Genghis Khan or Hitler, who would you choose? You have all your knowledge from your current life including how history played out. Personally I'd choose Genghis, lot more shagging and less chance of it being homosexual.
