Show Notes
In today’s episode there are three things on the agenda.
An overall summary of the key events and main themes of The History of Russia from 840i to 1780 and how those themes and events had made Russia what it had become by the late 18th Century
A whizz around the world in 1780 to see what was going on outside of Russia, again big-picture wise.
And then as if that wasn’t enough you’ll get to hear me waffling on about the pitiful existence of an independent podcaster and what I think the future holds for me and others like me who do the same thing.
