This the worst nightmare of any podcaster!
If you want to help out, give ‘The Napoleonic Wars Podcast’ a follow on Spotify and leave @ZwhiteHistory & his excellent podcast a 5 star review 🙌
Bad News:
Spent 8 solid hours talking to 6 technicians @spotifypodcasts trying to regain control of @NapWarsPod
Their team are helping as best as they can, but it's been a long, infuriating day, getting nowhere fast.
Here's the latest and how you can help. 🧵1/

The politics of Yalta have always fascinated me, so it was great to sit down & debate what happened between the big three!
Thanks to @churchill_alex (who channelled Churchill), @Iain_MacGregor1 (who was a little too comfortable as Stalin) & @thehistoryguy who kept us in check

What’s next for the Wagner group? And most importantly, what’s next for Putin?!?
The death of Prigozhin does little to strengthen Putin’s hand: Prigozhin was, after all, a pretty trusted, patriotic, and no nonsense figure to some.
This will be a tense 24 Hours in Moscow.

In this week's #FlashpointIran podcast, @DrJamesRogers tells @VOANews how Russia's use of Iranian drones in its war against Ukraine makes those drones more appealing to Iran's anti-American allies like Belarus and Bolivia. Read the transcript here: bit.ly/45uEIQl

It was here, 78 years ago today, that Little Boy detonated at 1500ft above the city of Hiroshima. The Genbaku Dome acts as a stark reminder of the power of atomic weapons. Here’s why it was able to stay standing, when almost everything else collapsed: instagram.com/reel/CvnB9NEME…

1/2 The latest drone attacks on Moscow appear to be something notably different.
With Zelensky all but admitting the attacks are Ukrainian in origin, this signals an emboldened Ukraine openly bringing the war to the Russian people.
But a word of warning…
