The Year Of Magical Thinking

September 25, 2019 – 9:57 pm

This seems timely: here are the two latest installments of John Batchelor’s ongoing conversation with historian Michael Vlahos about the darkening clouds of civil war. In these two segments (twenty minutes in all), the two discuss messianic and millenarian revolutionary movements, past and present.


 

Things do seem to have ratcheted up a bit, even in the past week. It all deserves further comment.

    You’re welcome, Bill. All the JB podcasts are here. His author interviews are excellent, and besides his continuing conversations with Vlahos, and his frequent interviews with Richard Epstein, I especially like his ongoing Tuesday-night series with Russian historian Stephen Cohen on the new Cold War.

    I really think JB’s show is the best thing on radio right now.
