[Unlocked] Conferences, What We're Reading, and More (October 30 on Patreon)
In this episode of Guerrilla History, we're unlocking a conversation that we recorded for Patreon on October 30. Here we had an impromptu chat when a guest had to reschedule last minute, but despite not planning in advance, we had a marvelous conversation on a pretty wide variety of topics. We put out the call to our patrons on whether they thought anything in the conversation would be useful for our non-patreon audience, and some of the responses we heard included: "I especially enjoyed Adnan's continuation of the Crusades theme he discussed with Sina a couple weeks ago." "I really liked the Cyprus Isnotrael connection and the reminder that the histories in the region are intertwined going back a very long way." Be sure to listen and let us know on social media if you found anything interesting or useful! You can @ us on Twitter at @guerrilla_pod and on IG at guerrilla_history.
