Continuing with our special "modern" episodes in the run up to the election, we cover the period of 2013-2015 a period where the wheels seemed to begin coming off the AKP, with Gezi Park, a corruption scandal and an election that saw them lose their majority for the first time. A lot of the seeds of their political vulnerability were planted in this period and we take a good look at them.

We decided to be uncontroversial with this bonus. Instead of tackling a serious issue or a contemporary event, we just chatted about Eurovision. Or we tried to, but enjoy this preview nonetheless and if you want to find out all the other super fun stuff we managed to get into the bonus then head on over to the Patreon:

Well, it's election time in Turkey and so Sinan will be guiding us through 1970-2013 and covering absolutely everything that happened in that time in Turkey. Don't @ them if they've missed anything. Things predictably don't go according to plan, but at least it's a fun time along the way as we demonstrate why we didn't want this podcast to be topical for as long as possible.

Well, this would be a very good episode of almost any other podcast, so why not have a little fun before we enter election mode? We tried, very hard, to talk about the Milli Gorus political movement in Turkey which spawned several very successful political parties including the governing AKP.

We're back from half-term and do we have an interesting episode for you all. A generational changing of the guard in Turkish politics combined with the usual shenanigans, wildness and of course at least one person on the podcast getting confused about a lot of parties with the same name.

Here's the preview of our latest bonus episode where we decide to go deep into the past (well relatively speaking) and explore the 16 Great Turkic Empires represented by the Presidential Seal of Turkey and answer the ultimate question, are they Turkic or not?

This week we decide to explore some of the events of the early 60s and Turkey's brand new very stable political situation. Including two failed coups orchestrated by the same person with some help (and hindrance) from some characters we're already extremely tired of. We also go into the attempted assassination on Ismet Inonu and why it may have happened and what Cyprus has to do with it all?

New bonus has dropped and this time it's just Sinan and Ben trying very hard to actually talk about the topic for once. This time it's the Anatolian Rock music movement and all of the influences, characters and a very cool YouTube channel related to it.
