Martian pronunciation can be tricky if you didn't grow up with it.

Michael Freedman-Schnapp

now that's the kind of commitment to the bit we expect from Revolutions!

It would be really funny if in a later episode you get "corrected" by a viewer in your pronunciation of one of the smaller figures in the historiography of the Martian revolution and have to make a correction on the following episode. Or apologize in advance for possibly "butchering" one of the names. Would be very on theme with the series. I imagine even in the future historiographers will still be mispronouncing key figures names lol

So far I think Warner is going to figure out be mix of Tsar Nicholas/King Louis phillipe/Necker

I think our Great Idiot of History may have arrived, folks! He seems like he’ll be fun. Loving this series so much so far.

My sister and I were riveted listening to this episode!

Great stuff. Listening for the historical parallels is both fun and enlightening. I'm curious, though, about your sci-fi inspirations. I think I hear parallels to Red Mars, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, and the Expanse series.

I was a bit sceptical of this series when you first started posting it, but I'm glad I stuck with it. This serves as a really excellent commentary on and synthesis of your other Revolutions series; so many of the same ideas and themes are woven into the narrative. (eg 'Every revolution is also a civil war', mentioned and neatly demonstrated in this episode). It's like you've let your brain run the same algorithm you use for historical revolutions, but pointed it at a fictional concept instead of a body of sources. The result is unique; as a sci-fi fan, I don't know of anything else quite like it. Kudos!
