The idea had been in this series of podcasts to have a kind of three-act structure for each, taking in the Views from Germany, Russia and America in the 20th century from the perspective of 100 years on. I had hoped when starting out 18 months ago to present historical events episodically on a monthly basis. But history cannot be trifled with in this way.

A big thank you to those following previous podcasts. I hope you will not be too disappointed with the next direction explained here as the last Bock-Deer Podcast. From next month, it will be called History Re-Read.
