“Age of Napoleon?” Scoffs an official after the emperor’s outburst. “More like *rage* of Napoleon”

Ernest Ialongo

Yup lost all episodes before this in Overcast

Alex Scott

Same for me - no episodes show up before June of this year

FYI all the older episodes appear to have disappeared from the podcast feed.

Greeting from the Republic of Moldova! Dispatch question: I've seen a Russian historian (who claims specialist in this era) saying that Napoleon personally verified all (!) the bills from all over the Empire calculating on paper in order to fight corruption , finding sometimes as little as 2 francs stolen by an official and returning them to treachery. However unbelievable it seems. Do you know of any such practices by Napoleon and could elaborate?

Kennit Lynch

Haha, same. Feels good to be caught up to the narrative.

The Age of Napoleon

I chose to go with "La" because that's the spelling that's most common in English-language books about the battle

Will Stephens

It's over, I've already depicted you as the seething Bonaparte and me as the serene Talleyrand.

The Galician, and perhaps the preferred name, is A* Coruña, not LA Coruña. Full disclosure, I worked for a Galician-based company, but never heard people say "La" Coruña anywhere in Spain.

I’ve been binging the show since finding it about a year ago and now I’m finally caught up! Bittersweet to say the least

The movie Napoleon had so many mundane moments. I would kill to see Joaquin Phoenix in a room with his closest leaders railing against them then turning to Talleyrand and losing his mind in an unhinged tirade of rage. Talleyrand sitting by the fire listening dispassionately. Then leaving the room with his cutting comment. Now that’s a scene!

I keep thinking the way this show is written would make an awesome prestige tv series

David M

Thanks for fixing that!

It is a pity that Talleyrand did not live in the 21st century. As great a diplomat as he was, I cannot help but think he would have made an even greater reality TV star. Just something to think about if you ever felt like branching out into a new medium. But all joking aside, thanks for another great episode!
