Feeling like it’s all gone to hell and things can’t go on like this?

Explore how people over history have dealt with the end times.

This series has given me a lot of peace. We live in crazy times of factionalism, bad faith, and chaos - and there’s something soothing in recognising that other people went through the same thing, centuries ago, and the world turned out alright. This has all happened before, and it'll happen again. The cycle continues, no matter how hard it is to see the light.

Each volume is a couple of hours long, with starts with a description of the time and speakers involved to give a bit of context.

You can start anywhere you like - I recommend starting at volume 3, The Era of Revolution, as Robespierre is one of the most persuasive people you’ll ever hear. Also, Wilberforce’s abolition of slavery speech is a masterpiece.

Napoleon (4), Proudhon (5) and Debs (8) are all also incredible speakers who make clear that today’s world isn’t that different from the same part of history’s cycle centuries ago – and you wouldn’t believe how sarcastic John Calvin is, or how passionate and human Martin Luther is.
