Notes de l’épisode
In this episode of the Long History Short Podcast, I sat down with Anastasia Lebedenko, a refugee who fled from Ukraine and found herself in Paris-- and is now observing the unrest there. She and I discussed the faulty media coverage of the French protests (hint: they are not violent, and it has nothing to do with migrants), her decision to leave Ukraine and how she wound up in Paris, why so many Ukrainians choose to stay behind in a war zone, life in Ukraine under constant harassment from Russian drones, Ukrainian perceptions about President Zelensky (including charges of corruption, and whether he should hold elections), and whether Russia and Ukraine will be able to restore a working relationship after the war's conclusion.

Notes de l’épisode
In this episode of the Long History Short Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Ed Berenson of NYU. He and I discussed the recent riots (or protests, if you prefer) in France, in the context of other violent and semi-violent political action, from the French Revolution of 1789 all the way up to the more recent Yellow Vest Movement, and all the unrest in between. We discussed the demands of this group of students, the political culture of France, the relationship between the Catholic Church and the French state, the May 1968 protests, and whether the hangover of "Vichy Syndrome" made Emmanuel Macron seem weak. We also discussed how this will affect the April election in 2027, and whether it will push the French people toward Marine Le Pen or Jean-Luc Melenchon. For more on the spread of these protests: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/30/cost-of-living-protests-to-spread-to-germany-and-reignite-in-france-on-halloween For the ways that today's student protests are calling back to the May 1968 Protests: https://time.com/article/2026/10/07/student-protests-france-signs-may-1968-strikes-police-clashes/ A historical overview of how these protests have been fermenting since 2018's Yellow Vest Movement: https://thedispatch.com/article/french-protests-discontent-macron-yellow-vest-movement/

Notes de l’épisode
In this episode of the Long History Short Podcast, I sat down with economist and historian Carmen Reinhart to discuss America's debt burden, our rising interest rates, and the potential for an economic crisis triggered by an AI bubble. Dr. Reinhart wrote a terrific book called "This Time is Different" where she detailed the history of financial crises, paying special attention to the Great Depression and the 2008 Housing Market Crisis, and she uses those insights to prognosticate about whether we have a way out of this fiscally unsustainable path.
The Iran War Spreads to Saudi Arabia, ft. Dr. Bernard Haykel, Princeton University

Notes de l’épisode
On this episode of The Long History Short Podcast, I sat down with Dr. Bernard Haykel of Princeton University to discuss Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Iran, Iraq, and how the Iran War is in danger of spiraling into a broader regional conflict. We also discuss the threats to the global economy as the Houthi rebels attack the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, threatening a major shipping route through the Red Sea-- especially dangerous given the continued harassments that the Iranians are able to inflict on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. Of course, we also dive into the history underlying the Middle Eastern inferno, including the rise of the House of Saud, the origin of the Houthis, the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, the 1979 Siege of Mecca, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Lastly, we talk about where this conflict may be headed, and what President Trump should do to de-escalate the war. Here's more background about the Houthis: https://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/who-are-yemens-houthis Nice piece on the 1979 Siege of Mecca that Dr. Haykel mentioned: https://www.bbc.com/news/stories-50852379 Somewhat old, but still revealing interview with Muhammad bin Salman: https://time.com/5228006/mohammed-bin-salman-interview-transcript-full/

Notes de l’épisode
In this episode of the Long History Short Podcast, I sat down with General Lawrence Nicholson of the United States Marine Corps. General Nicholson and I discuss his time in some of the toughest combat zones in Iraq and Afghanistan. He served in Fallujah, Ramadi, and then Helmand Province in Afghanistan-- three of the deadliest theatres in those two wars. We also talked about some of the mistakes that leadership made during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and whether anything could've been done differently to achieve victory. I'm not sure that he was my best guest but unquestionably my most badass guest. That counts for something.

Notes de l’épisode
On this episode of the Long History Short Podcast, I interviewed Dr. Roger Petersen about Iraq, now that U.S. forces are poised to leave for the final time on September 30, 2026. He and I discuss the state of Iraq today, with its fractious but democratic politics. We also discuss the origins of the Iraq War, the post-Saddam insurgency, the impact of the US troop surge under General Petraeus, and sectarian violence between Shia and Sunnis, as well as other outside groups. Finally, we discuss bright spots in the current political situation in Iraq and why we ought to have hope for the future of the Iraqi people. Here's the link to Dr. Petersen's book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSPPSJ1L?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback Here's an overview of the Sunni-Shia divide: https://www.cfr.org/articles/sunni-shia-divide-2 Dr. Petersen mentioned a New York Times article about Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi. It's paywalled, but here it is: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/21/world/middleeast/iraq-prime-minister-interview-disarm-militias.html Dr. Petersen also referred to an article about the troop surge written by Stephen Biddle.

On September 30th, the last US soldiers will withdraw from Iraq after more than 23 years since the war's beginning.

On this episode of the Long History Short Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Carter Malkasian, former advisor to US military commanders in Afghanistan and author of "The American War in Afghanistan: A History." We discuss the fallout of 9/11, the way that Al-Qaeda's attacks changed the thinking within the Bush administration, the practical difficulties US forces faced in Afghanistan, the withdrawal, and what Taliban rule is like today. On this 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, understanding the war to hunt down Bin Laden and prevent more terrorist atrocities is vital.

On this episode of The Long History Short Podcast, I sat down with Rod Dreher, author of "The Benedict Option" and "Live Not By Lies," along with several other books and a popular Substack. He and I discussed American/European politics and culture. Rod's made the provocative claim that present day societal dysfunction resembles that of the Weimar Republic-- that period of German history that preceded the appointment of Hitler as Chancellor Germany and the institution of the Third Reich. Rod's book, "Weimar America," comes out next year. We also talk about the potential of AI to disrupt the economy, expand government surveillance of citizens, and the consequences of a world where work is optional.

In our chat, Katja and I discuss the collapse of Wilhelmine Germany, the history of the Weimar Republic, what Weimar can teach us about contemporary politics, the Republic's downfall, and the rise of Hitler. She and I link German history to current developments in European politics, like the rise of the AfD (Alternative for Deutschland), recent shake-ups in UK politics, mass migration, and how to restore faith in democracy.

On this episode of the Long History Short Podcast, I talk with Dr. David Betz, Professor of War Studies at the University of London, King's College. Professor Betz has made the provocative claim that due to polarization, mass migration, elite fecklessness, two-tiered justice, politicians' contempt for regular people, and other issues, civil war will break out in Great Britain and other European countries in the coming years. If that sounds provocative, give it a listen. I started as a skeptic, but he convinced me. Here's the first of Betz's essays defending his thesis: https://www.militarystrategymagazine.com/article/civil-war-comes-to-the-west/ Here's part two: https://www.militarystrategymagazine.com/article/civil-war-comes-to-the-west-part-ii-strategic-realities/

Notes de l’épisode
While President Trump tries to broker an end to the Iran war, a major stumbling block has been Israel's war in Lebanon. The paramilitary group Hezbollah has repeatedly traded blows with Israel, and Iran has insisted that a lasting peace settlement needs to bring that conflict to a close. But more is at stake than the future of the Iran War: population displacements and other spillovers from the conflict have jeopardized the future of Lebanon's existence, with some declaring it a failed state. To understand this conflict and where it may be headed, I sat down with Dr. Betty Anderson of Boston University, professor of Middle Eastern history and expert on Lebanon.
