10.67- The April Crisis

MIKE DUNCAN
About this episode

April 1917 reminds us sometimes foreign affairs DO matter in domestic politics.

---

The H2W related podcast appearances I mentioned:

  1. Based on a True Story with Dan LeFebvre. Great chat about Lafayette in film and TV.
  2. KPFA's Letters and Politics with Mitch Jeserich. This one is a video!
  3. Tides of History with Patrick Wyman. More of me and Patrick being me and Patrick. So good, informative, and fun.
  4. My History Can Beat Up Your Politics One of the O.G. podcasts. Since 2006!
