Another BP Podcast is up. You can listen on Libsyn, Apple, Spotify, and Stitcher (and a variety of other platforms). Probably the easiest way to keep up the podcast since we don’t have a regular schedule is to subscribe to one of the links above!
You can also support the podcast as a patron. The primary benefit now is that you get the podcasts considerably earlier than everyone else. This website isn’t about shaking the cup, but I have noticed that the number of patrons plateaued a long time ago.
I would though appreciate more positive reviews! Alton Brown’s “Browncast” has 30 reviews on Stitcher alone! Help make us the biggest browncast! At least at some point.
This episode features Razib and Akshar talking history with Tarun Sridharan, the man behind a very interesting Youtube Channel – Odd Compass. We discuss the Malacca Sultanate, Vijaynagara’s downfall, Maratha success, and various other topics in history. Make sure to check out his Instagram and especially youtube channel which has beautiful and well-researched videos on history (especially Indian!).
Check out his latest video on the history of war elephants:
Enjoyed the episode. Nice vignettes, especially from the guest. Indeed the period of Indian history between the Guptas and the advent of political Islam in India is glossed over by most historians. Just as the history of the Deccan gets short shrift on the whole.
I had earlier on this forum already shared a video by Tarun Sridharan. His videos are excellent and need more subscribers. The likes of him need to be encouraged.
Great episode.
And thanks Razib for coming to the rescue of N-Indians 😛
