May 21, 2023 BLAM 177 | Kaiserreich: War 1917, with Jim McGeehin
We continue into the year 1917! This time, our focus is not on tactics, strategy, weapons and stuff but on the epochal events of the Russian Revolution and the American entry into the war.

April 27, 2023 BLAM 176 | Kaiserreich - War 1916, with Jim McGeehin
We’re continuing the story of World War I with the year 1916. The battles of Verdun and the Somme are the most famous, and we’re giving them the space they deserve, but the Romanian campaign, the Brusilov offensive and the Battle of Jutland also get their share. To top it off, we delve into the politics of the year, which may surprise you in how consequential they were.

April 19, 2023 BLAH 175 | The best of ASOIAF - Septon Meribald’s monologue, with Sean T. Collins
It was only a question of time until we hit one of the most profound and meaningful pieces of text in the whole ASOIAF corpus, but we did it! Sean and I talk Septon Meribald’s “broken men” speech. Follow us along hitting you over the head with deep in-text-analysis.

March 27, 2023 BLAH 174 | Who is the Knight of the Laughing Tree?
This is special episode. I have been challenged by Kienn Joiaf to defend my assertion that Lyanna Stark is the Knight of the Laughing Tree and to disprove their theory that in truth it is Eddard Stark. That theory is laid out here, but I will summarize it in the episode - and then take it apart. It’s not a kind thing to do that to a Podator, but we are rebels, so we rebel. Or something to that effect. Oh, and here’s the link to all Supreme Court of Westeros episodes.

March 10, 2023 BLAH 173 | Kaiserreich - War 1915, with Jim McGeehin
We’re continuing the story of World War I with the year 1915. From the massive loss of human lives in the big offensives, the Western stalemate and the breakthrough in the East, to technological innovations like aerial bombardement and poison gas to the political sphere, we have it all.

March 04, 2023 BLAH 172 | Kaiserreich - War 1914, with Jim McGeehin
We are finally here: World War I has broken out, and now it’s off to the military history. But not so fast! Before you think we’re down to discussing which caliber of gun is superior to which, let me assure you: we take the big view, and look at how politics and war intersect and why the war isn’t over by christmas, but rather evolving into something else entirely.

December 22, 2022 BLAH 170 | Back to the sources, with Mattea Barbagallo
Greek myths and medieval novels provide a rich tapestry of themes and inspiration that inspire literature for centuries now. Reason enough for us here at the Boiled Leather Audio Hour to go to that well and drink deep. I recruited Mattea Barbagallo for this, who expertly talks about Greek myth and medieval novels and how they pertain to our beloved saga.

December 22, 2022 BLAH 171 | Lightning doesn’t strike twice, with Sean T. Collins
Sean and I are on record being huge fans of the German series “Dark”. Their creators now published their follow-up work, “1899”, streaming on Netflix. However, lighting doesn’t strike twice, and the show doesn’t manage to live up to its predecessor. We analyze what went wrong and why it’s still worth the watch. Download the episode!

December 09, 2022 BLAH 168 | All Quiet on Netflix, with Peter Doyle
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.

November 29, 2022 BLAH 169 | Andor, Episode 12, with Sean T. Collins
CAUTION: The original upload contained episode 167 with Andor ep 11 again. This should be correct now. The finale is out! We get a funeral, a rom-com between two fascists, a prison break, a child marriage, police shooting unarmed civilians, a terrorist, a failed assassination attempt and I’m sure I’m missing something else - but what does it matter, for all men must die, and I’ve seen Andor season 1! What a marvellous show. Download the episode! Our iTunes page. Previous episodes. Podcast RSS feed. Stefan on Twitter. Stefan’s blog. Sean on Twitter. Blaze
