@gregsargent.bsky.social Great show today with Kim Scheppele. She name-dropped @barbarafwalter.com regarding anocracies. You should bring Professor Walter on your show! She wrote a great book on civil wars a few years ago.

@schaller67.bsky.social Hi Tom, after you went on Greg Sargent's podcast in April, I bought White Rural Rage and have been enjoying it (I'm about half way through). Do you know Barbara F. Walter? IMO, there are parallels between her analysis on civil wars and your's and Paul's on Rural America.

@gregsargent.bsky.social Hi Greg, your podcast episode with Ming Li Hui was excellent. I've only been listening to your show since after the November 2024 election, but that was something different and really well done. For how long have you been podcasting? You bring on such great guests!
