BLAH 149 | Kaiserreich, Episode 6: Colonialism, with Jim McGeehin
The Boiled Leather Audio Hour
04/19/22 • -1 min
Bismarck famously refused to engage in colonialism, only to do an about-face in the 1880s to create the third-largest colonial empire of the world. It didn’t do much good. A drain financially, utterly indefensible and diplomatically a heavy burden, it weakened Germany, rather than strengthening it. Nor did it bring any good to the colonized; rather the opposite. The first German genocide was perpetrated on Namibian soil, and it would not be the last. Listen to us discussing this dark topic of history.
BLAH 165 | House of the Dragon, episode 10, with Sean T. Collins
The Boiled Leather Audio Hour

Not only did the Boiled Leather Audio Hour produce a roundtable about the finale, the regular episode with Sean T. Collin was produced as well! If my audio sounds a bit worse than usual, that’s because I had to record on a laptop. Sorry for that!

The Boiled Leather Audio Hour
11/08/22 • -1 min
The first season has come to a close! Before you get to enjoy the final review that Sean and I do together, I have a special treat for you: a roundtable discussion coming live from the “City of Dragons”, Caceres, where the King’s Landing scenes are filmed and where I met up with Elio Garcia and Matteo Barbagallo to discuss what we saw!

BLAH 163 | House of the Dragon, episode 9, with Sean T. Collins
The Boiled Leather Audio Hour
11/08/22 • -1 min
The Green Council finally has arrived! People get murdered, smallfolk massacred, a king gets lost, factions betrayed, convictions challenged, all against the backdrop of incredibly sharp writing and great acting. Is there anything more you could want? We don’t think so!
BLAH 132 | The US presidents, part II, with Jim McGeehin
The Boiled Leather Audio Hour
05/23/21 • -1 min
After covering FDR to LBJ in our first episode, this two-parter now comes to a close with our in-depth look at the remaining presidencies. It’s a juicy episode of almost 2 hours, so we cover a lot of ground and manage to get to *checks notes* the end of the Reagan presidency. Ok, a three-parter then. This is our fate.
BLAH 144 | Happy Birthday to us
The Boiled Leather Audio Hour
12/15/21 • -1 min
The Boiled Leather Audio Hour is 10 years old! Congratulating yourselves isn’t a courteous thing to do, we know. But on a podcast, there’s little choice in how to do this, since we have to record, don’t we? And so, Sean and I delve deep into the memory lane.
But of course, we cannot keep this a completely navel-gazing affair. And so, I invited a lot of people over to celebrate with us. Amin Javadi, Steven Attewell, Jim McGeehin, Aziz, Manu, Clint and Merry, Joe Magician and Bookshelfstud are all here to take part in the festivities and to discuss a variety of topics.
This is the longest running show to date, and I have learned one thing: I suck as a moderator. Please forgive my bad transitions and just enjoy the different segments. Happy Birthday to us!

BLAH 147 | The Wheel of Time, with Sean T. Collins
The Boiled Leather Audio Hour
02/12/22 • -1 min
The little known fantasy saga “The Wheel of Time” was picked up by niche channel Amazon Prime and made into a small-budget show of *checks notes* 80 million dollars, which is small compared to the *checks notes again* 500 million Amazon paid for the first season of the upcoming “Lord of the Rings” series. What a time we live in!
Sean T. Collins and I take you through a tour of the TV adaption of “The Wheel of Time”, talking about what worked and what didn’t and why we arrive at a solid B- for the show. Spoilers abound, of course, and word of warning: neither of us read the book.

BLAH 148 | Kaiserreich, Episode 5: Balancing, with Jim McGeehin
The Boiled Leather Audio Hour
03/07/22 • -1 min
Bismarck felt, in the colloquial French of the times, the “cauchemar des coalitions”, the nightmare of coalitions. He wanted to keep the peace, but a peace on his terms. Was this ever possible, or was Bismarck’s artful foreign policy in the end only kicking the can down the road, leading to the inevitable breakdown? Listen to find out!
BLAH 168 | All Quiet on Netflix, with Peter Doyle
The Boiled Leather Audio Hour
12/09/22 • -1 min
I reviewed Netflix’ adaptation of “All Quiet on the Western Front” for the Patreon already, but now I want to do an in-depth-look with an expert and see whether my criticisms hold any merit. Aside from the new movie, we talk about the 1979 and 1930 adaptations, critically comparing them, “1917” and “At Journey’s End” and why World War I is so difficult an area for storytelling in general.
BLAH 145 | Kaiserreich, episode 4: Kulturkampf, with Jim McGeehin
The Boiled Leather Audio Hour
01/17/22 • -1 min
In the latest episode of our Kaiserreich series, we talk about the three great domestic fights that the ruling conservatives fought in the Kaiserreich: political catholicism (the titular Kulturkampf), social democracy and feminism. All these presented challenges to the authority of the status quo, and all of them were fought vigorously. All these fights failed and left these movements stronger than they had started.
