Revolutions

Season 12 premiered October 20, 2024 – a nonfictional account of The Martian Revolution of 2247. Mike Duncan is taking everything he's learned from 12 seasons of historical revolutions - the repeating arcs, characters, ideas, events, and patterns which all revolutions seem to follow - and created a fictional history of the Martian Revolution of 2247. The series is written from the point of view of a historian working hundreds of years after the Martian Revolution and will be presented in the style and format of previous seasons of Revolutions. It will look, sound, and feel like a Mike Duncan history podcast…but will instead be a fictional narrative of a gripping science-fiction epic. Revolutions is a podcast that covers the great political revolutions that have defined the modern world. Each season is a long-form narrative covering a different defining revolutionary epoch across three hundred years of history. It explores in great detail the people, ideas, and events that challenged and toppled outdated regimes and replaced them with new governments. After more than 350 episodes over ten seasons of narrative nonfiction, the 12th season is a fictional account of the Martian Revolution of 2247. *BREAKING NEWS* In the fall of 2025, the Revolutions podcast will return to its roots by diving into the great revolutions of the 20th century. The new run of episodes begins with the story of Irish Independence, a dramatic upheaval in the wake of WWI that saw Ireland free itself from centuries of English rule. Full of inspiring personalities, tragic events, and thrilling triumphs, Irish Independence is one of the most gripping events in revolutionary history. Future seasons will plunge ahead through the turbulent 20th century, and include the Spanish Civil War, the Cuban Revolution, and the Algerian War of Independence.

Two Great Tastes!
Apr 10
Science Fiction, at its best, has always been a powerful tool for investigating the human condition. I love history and I love SciFi. What could be better than to have one of the great historical podcasters combine the two. And, to all of you nay-bobs out there, lighten up and let the guy have some fun. After so many years of filling our brains with wonderfully narrated non-fiction, the least you can do is let him play around for a while. Enjoy this Reese’s Peanut-butter Cup moment! Tastes great!

Please please PLEASE do a series on the Texas revolution! It is absolutely worth it and so much more complicated than most people (non-Texans) probably know. Love the show! Humor is 👌
What Happened to Historical Topcis

Mr. Duncan, I have been with you since the beginning, loving your narative style, looking forward to the next episode, and the next after that, through 2 podcast feeds, purchasing appendixes, reading books, etc., until this Martian thing. I will try to listen again, but I would so much rather have more actual history in the great Mike Duncan tradition
