Hello friends,
Episode 7 of the Athenaeum Podcast is now live.
Jeremy sits down with Will Tanner for a wide-ranging conversation on the history of Rhodesia — its founding, political tensions, cultural identity, and the forces that ultimately shaped its fate. It’s a serious look at a chapter of 20th-century history that’s often reduced to slogans rather than understood on its own terms.
You can watch the episode for free on Substack, or on YouTube if you prefer.
Enjoy.
