784 - Spanish Civil War, part 1: Pronunciamento y Pistolerismo (11/23/23)
Added 2023-11-23 15:00:07 +0000 UTCIn this 14th installment of Matt’s (increasingly un-) Inebriated Past series, we begin what should be a 4 part look at the Spanish Civil War. In this installment, Matt guides from through the decaying Spanish Empire of the 19th century, through the social classes of village and city, the attempts for liberal reform in the early 20th century, the roots of Spanish anarchism and socialism, and finally the establishment of the 2nd Spanish Republic setting the stage for apocalyptic conflict.
Special thanks to Travis from the (great) band Activity for the Spanish Bombs cover that anchors this ep. Check out their latest release here: https://activity.bandcamp.com/album/spirit-in-the-room
EDIT/CLARIFICATION: The first 3 episodes of this series were recorded before Matt's incident in September. So while these are new episodes, Matt is still recovering.
