    Episode #67: The Hussite Wars, Part 1
    Apr 6 2026

    A simple priest named Jan Hus gently suggests that the Catholic Church might be wrong about a few things - so they burn him at the stake, and ignite a holy war. The Church calls a crusade against Hus’s followers, the Hussites and all of Europe takes up arms against the heretics. The Hussites’ only hope is a one-eyed mercenary named Jan Žižka, and his revolutionary tactics that are so crazy they just might work. Fire, faith and thunder roll over the hills of Bohemia.

    Episode #66: The Battle of the Golden Spurs
    Feb 23 2026

    In the year 1302, the people of Flanders revolted against their French overlords. They were just a bunch of peasants and townspeople, with simple weapons and little armor - but the French knights were in for a surprise. It’s time to take a deep dive into a single medieval battle - the Battle of Courtrai, where the common people of a small country stood their ground against the most powerful military in medieval Europe.

    Episode #65: Soldier of Fortune
    Feb 2 2026

    In the year 1361, a ragged band of veteran mercenaries called the White Company marched across the Alps into Italy. One of their leaders was a middle-aged English knight named Sir John Hawkwood. He would the most infamous mercenary captain in Europe, the terror of Italy…and the harbinger of change, as the Middle Ages gave way to the Renaissance.

So I randomly stumbled upon this and got started with the *excellent* Soviet-Afghan war series; maybe a month ago—and my continuous binge-listening since has nearly caught me up with the entire back catalogue.

Life story out of the way; let’s get to the Podcast:
- The storytelling is excellent
- it truly lives up to its name—I had never heard of some of these conflicts before and I’m grateful that I have now—because the host has never failed to deliver on his promise of “you should care and I’m going to tell you why”.
- It’s entertaining, but not at the cost of being disrespectful of the events and those involved—so kudos for that.
- It’s evidently well-researched; and just good stuff all around.
- If you like Hardcore History, History on Fire, and History Impossible, I’m sure you’ll enjoy this as well.

5/5 would recommend and tell my friends.

This doesn’t deserve to be an Unknown Podcast
