In 1916, two researchers set out to the Russian Empire's Eger POW camp with a unique idea: to record the language and folk songs of its Georgian prisoners. Join us this week as we sit down with Brian Fairley to discuss early 20th century audio recording!

He has also published his book "Red Money for the Global South: East���South Economic Relations in the Cold War," through @routledgebooks. Listen to Max's thoughts on the current state of neoliberalism in this week's episode, and make sure to check out his book as well!

Neoliberalism has so many meanings that some say it has no meaning. Enter Max Trecker, who took this as an opportunity to investigate its intellectual origins in the 1920s and 1930s. What did it mean then, and what would those neoliberals think today?

@SimonParkin is a @Wingateprize winning author, writer for @newyorker, and Fellow of @royalhistsoc. His new book, "The Forbidden Garden: The Botanists of Besieged Leningrad and Their Impossible Choice," is published by @simonschuster. Check it out below!

In 1941, as Nazi forces laid siege to Leningrad, a group of Soviet botanists faced an unthinkable choice: eat their life’s work, a rare seed bank, or starve to death. How does their legacy live on in modern agriculture? Would you choose science over life?

Vladimir Kozlov’s new book "Shramy" (Scars) explores street battles between anti-fascists and neo-Nazi skinheads in Moscow during the late 2000s.
