This episode covers events that took place from 1917-1921.

There's no need to start at the beginning, necessarily, but all the episodes out so far can be found at davidrovics.com/ahistoryoftheworld, along with notes on each of them.

Here's the second episode of A History of the World According to David Rovics. This one covers events from 1846-1916.

The first two podcasts are up now at davidrovics.com/ahistoryoftheworld, and the rest will all be up there eventually, free for anyone to download. I would venture to say it's a really good bunch of podcasts, that could be especially good to share with folks who may just discovering people's history or radical politics.

For paid subscribers, 16 episodes are already up. They can be found in the Everything folder -- if you're a CSA member, whether you signed up through Substack, Patreon, Bandcamp, or at davidrovics.com/subscribe, you should have gotten a welcome email with the link to the Everything folder, but feel free to contact me if you need that again!

I did a bit of an impromptu live broadcast today, on the occasion of realizing I'd be alone in the apartment on a Sunday.

This is the first episode in my new podcast series, A History of the World According to David Rovics. In this series, I take on history, starting with what we Americans call the Colonial Era, then working our way forward, tightening up the timeline as we go.

I'll upload new episodes every so often, gratis, here and on other platforms, including at davidrovics.com/history.

For those who are able to become paid subscribers, those who can join my Community-Supported Art program are the folks who make it possible for me to keep doing what I do. If you're already a paid subscriber, thank you! (These posts always go out to everyone, either way...)

By delaying what they then deny

It's #SpotifyWrapped time again, and this year's summary of my presence on the platform is especially Kafka Orwell.

UNICEF says 35 children per day on average have been killed by Israeli bombs, snipers, or other such means since October 2023. Now the numbers will grow exponentially in the ongoing famine Israeli forces are imposing.

Kamala Emanuel and I -- aka the Ministry of Culture -- are off on another tour of parts of Europe and the US.  Details about all the gigs can be found at davidrovics.com/tour.

With our spiffy new home internet connection, today's broadcast was not a disaster, for a change! I sang songs from the new album, Jabaliya, and other songs as well, mostly from the past year.

It was streamed live, this is what Streamyard calls the "Cloud recording," as opposed to the "Local recording," which is a WAV file that you can find on the Substack version of this podcast.  For tech geeks out there, I'm singing through a Shure SM7B, and playing a Collings guitar with a K&K pickup, plugged into a Focusrite box, which then is connected to the laptop.
