Controversial? Never heard of it! Would have been nice to know before we decided this may be a good episode though... can't wait to see our ratings plummet after this one.
In all seriousness, welcome to our first dive into the far more controversial and topical conversations of the day - this time being the Russo-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas War. Being graduates of military history and strategic studies, this is Arron and Conor's bread and butter and they want to at least try their hand at discussing these subjects. So if you want an overview of these conflicts in as close to our usual style as possible then this is the episode for you!
There will certainly be disagreements aplenty, and we appreciate any and all disagreements that are raised by our listeners as long as they are done respectfully. We understand the heightened emotions for some of these topics, but as historians we could not avoid talking about these subjects just because they are mired in controversy. So join Arron and Conor this week as they take their first dive into both of these wars, and be sure to let us know what you think!
This episode was hosted by Arron Keegan and Conor Daly. The intro and outro music - Strollin' Along - was recorded by David Renda.
