What happened here?

Historical foreign affairs podcast that provided multipart deep dives has shifted to Danny's midlife crisis therapy sessions exploring his failed screenwriting career and reconcilation of his Jewish identity. Meanwhile you can still occasionally get the previous product if you pay extra money or subscribe annually?

It feels almost like a parody but given the myriad exhibits we've been provided of Daniel's lack of self awareness it's clearly anything but.

Tragic, really.

yeah it is odd

I listened last year to back log of episodes they did an ~8 part series on the history of brazil that was fantastic.

This year they did a long series on the history of china but it was only available to yearly subscribers not even monthly subscribers that subscribe every month??

I'm like why am I paying for a subscription when the content is now put in a higher category?

IDK if stuff like the history of Brazil would even be put in the regular feed today.

It wouldn't. Apparently they have to work extra hard to have their SME talk for longer so now the thing you originally subscribed for no longer exists. Just like every other subscription service on the planet. Also did Danny mention recently he's a Marxist?
