  • 1920s Germany REVEALED | Theo & Will

    Theo and Will reveal the reality of post-WWI Germany: not of a middling democracy, but a deeply confused nation torn apart by the first modern ideological conflict. In the ruins of a Prussian state, liberal democracy, fascism, and communism battled for dominance. The result was tragedy.

  • December Debates #1: What if we were in charge?

    For the first of our unedited, unscripted lockdown debates, Peter, Max, Will, and Theo discuss what they'd do if, by some freak accident, they ruled the world (a la 'Game of Drones' from 2019).

    There's headlight missiles, leaky water bottles and $14 trillion in Poorly Informed's plans for global domination.

    Let us know your thoughts on social media at @podcastpoorly!

    As always, enjoy and have a very Merry Christmas!

About Poorly Informed

From the publisher's feed

This was the Poorly Informed podcast. Our commitment to you was to provide lively debate with a true and sincere spirit that helped you (and us) to learn more. We did that for six years. We recorded through Brexit and Covid. We hope you were a little less poorly informed for listening to us.
