We sit down with writer and Cornell professor Sophie Pinkham to talk about The Oak and the Larch and the idea that the Russian forest, the taiga, and the swamp belt are not just settings in history, but drivers of it, shaping how people imagine freedom, fear, exile, and power.

We follow the combustible rivalry between Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin—from exile and revolution to a propaganda war that turned one man’s image into the regime’s most useful enemy. Our guest, author Josh Ireland, brings meticulous research and narrative clarity to a story where i... | 42m 50s | ||||||

We sit down with historian Robert Darnton to chart how Paris, from 1748 to 1789, became an information society powered by parades, fireworks, songs, rumor, and street theater. Instead of headlines, “publication” meant a royal herald reading peace aloud while bands played—and a celebration that ended in a deadly crush. Those moments didn’t just info... | 58m 39s | ||||||
