This is a wonderful, fun discussion among four scholars who know their history, express themselves clearly and concisely, listen to each other, enjoy each other’s company, and build upon each other’s contribution. This is not your typical boring round-table discussion. Anyone who wishes to understand the complicated genesis of pre-revolutionary protest and how/why it changed over time will find this a very satisfying experience. I’d invite these folks over for dinner in a heart beat.
Thank you very much for the fantastic compliments, Charles. We’re glad you found listening to the podcast a valuable and worthwhile experience.
