Episode 6: Dealing with Stalin
The Historic Present - A podcast by Jonah Howe and Charlie Gordon
Categories:
In this episode, we are joined by two historians: Dr James Rogers and Dr Ian Johnson, who help us discuss the significance, terms and aftermath of the Nazi-Soviet pact of 1939. We go deep into the deal that gave Hitler the go ahead to invade Poland, ultimately kickstarting the Second World War. The clash of Left and Right ideologies continues into our political section, when Charlie and Jonah go head-to-head with Natalie and Darsha-Lily to debate whether or not Socialism really does solve all the crises it seems to promise. Enjoy!
