This afternoon, all being well, Patrick Crozier and I will finally get around to doing our podcast on the Industrial Revolution: Good Thing and here’s why it happened. I will be making the running and Patrick will be heckling me, seeking clarification, etc. Here are the books I intend to refer to: I also intend … Continue reading The books I’ll be talking about this afternoon with Patrick Crozier
These disappointments happened in 1870, 1914, 1917, 1940, 1944(?) and 1954. We don’t talk about them in chronological order, because we started with 1914, which was the failed French Ardennes offensive, right at the start of World War 1. But events in all of those years get a mention. Listen to our conversation here, where … Continue reading Patrick Crozier and I talk about French military disappointments (and so does Antoine Clarke)
On June 2nd, Patrick Crozier and I had another of our recorded conversations, this time about Lockdown. In the course of this, I refer to a photo that I did take, and a photo that I didn’t take. The photo that I did take was this: That being me, and another bloke, recording the fact … Continue reading Lockdown chat with Patrick
This was in the course of our latest recorded conversation, which we had over the phone (by which I mean my phone and his computer) last Wednesday, and which has just been posted at Croziervision, with further verbals from Patrick. Which I recommend, even if you don’t listen to the thing itself. Patrick’s posting is … Continue reading In which Patrick Crozier tells me that the Americans could and should have won the Vietnam War

You’ll … Continue reading Another recorded conversation with Patrick (about the WW2 bombing offensive)
As earlier noted, Patrick Crozier and I recently recorded a conversation about the Falklands War, involving both what we each remembered about it from when we lived through it (early in 1982), and what we have learned about it since, which was not a lot in my case but a bit. It was a strange … Continue reading Patrick Crozier and I talk about the Falklands War
Here.
Here. For an hour and ten minutes.
For quite some while now, ever since August (I think it must have been) 2017, when we talked about World War 1, Patrick Crozier and I have been doing a podcast every few weeks or so. Here is where to find them all, that first one in the series about WW1 being here. But what … Continue reading What have Patrick Crozier and I been doing right with our podcasts?
With blogging, excellence is the enemy of adequacy, and often what you think will be excellence turns out not to be. Eight days ago now, Patrick Crozier and I had one of our occasional recorded chats, about transport this time. Train privatisation, high speed trains and maglevs, robot cars, that kind of thing. I think … Continue reading Transport chat with Patrick Crozier (and sorry for the delay telling you about it)
