Hell of an ending, fellas. 12/10
Michael S. Judge
Listening to this whole series again, and I suddenly remembered that James Joyce once put the entirety of Restoration culture into 6 words, namely "The time of the great talkers"
Peter Sullivan
Guess it went right over my head :(

This series is the EU4 of podcasts
Jason Olaru-Hagen
You can do a game of Eu4 as England where the 5th Monarchists take over. It’s really rare and hard to make that happen, but it creates probably the most uniquely powerful but also challenging form of government in the game
Scot Forsythe
Banger outro gave me chils❤️

Great series and i'm looking forward to the addendums! Gotta admit though, it is jarring how scripted Matt sounded. Nonetheless, an absoute fantastic listen 👏
Daniel Baylor
Chris I’m so god damn impressed by your work on this series. You’ve heard it already but this really was a fantastic, epic journey. My thanks to you, Matt and everyone who had their hand in this project
Patrick Holt
Just a point of information. It didn't require the postwar US hegemony to force the whole world to be capitalist. That had already been achieved by European imperialism, and especially by the British Empire as the most widespread and proactive variant. See Imperialism Pioneer of Capitalism by Bill Warren. What the US has been doing since taking over the gig of global imperialism as a whole has been preventing countries escaping from capitalism, and wherever possible forcing escapees back into the prison of private property, market relations, and national level dictatorships to prevent democracy and its potential to enable further bouts of socialism.

Really, really fucking good guys. Amazingly good, enlightening on things I thought I knew and I learned a tonne I didn't . My single criticism - not even a snippet of kurious oranj around the glorious revolution as a fall fan, Chris?? Come on man! Get it together, Jack
PJ Martinez
An absolute masterpiece gentlemen! I needed to hear that ending.
Michael Dobson
Great summation at the ending!
SlowTrickle
Fuck that was good
etienne
that's a joke. they meant to say mel gibson because mel gibson is antisemitic and mel brooks is jewish. they riffed on it for 5 minutes afterwards
Peter Sullivan
@ 53:40 min mark Will says “the great Mel Gibson” when he meant Mel Brooks. Both are “great” depending on which ways you look but a funny slip up nonetheless
Elai Kehler
This series was fucking fantastic need more Matt & Chris content

Phil Gushulak
Fuck you guys! Thanks for the bonus episodes! Looking forward to re listen to the whole series again.
Matt James Rich
When you Of in the hot food
Mark Niziolek
Those monologues at the end were so good. Excellent work fellas.
Adam Brennan
Excellent series, tyvm!
Jesse DeStasio
Seems a little suss you haven't had a single guest on that lived during the 30 years war....
Andrew Argraves
Fantastic job, a dence, coherent, and unique podcast that will stand the test of time. Can't wait for more.
fuzz
Yes would love to hear Spanish revolutionary history expounded on
Caelan McCracken
Phenomenal series. Whatever the path for Chapo holds, i hope that these become a regular occurrence or permanent spinoff. Now tell me about the Spanish Civil War!
James Wallace
What an amazing history podcast. Never hard to follow. Entertaining as hell and illuminating things I never knew about the origins of capital and how that relates to us even now.
Xio Dio
7 bonus episode, thank Allah I was so sad to reach the end. This series is fantastic!
Drew Middleton
This was so good. Thank you all so much for making this 🙏

I would implore anyone who listened to this episode to go watch the 2020 animated feature Wolfwalkers. It is a very kid-friendly fantasy movie that takes place in Kilkenny, Ireland in 1650. It gives a really thorough and satisfying depiction of the social order and characters one would actually encounter in one of these major Cromwellian Irish settlements of the time, complete with an arch-villainous Lord Protector, completely consumed with a fanatical and nearly incoherent project of Godly duty, acting as the antagonist. The politics of the movie are simple and clear but also powerful and righteous. Run, don't walk, etc.
Bill Crotts
Thanks so much guys. Hope there will be more of this type of stuff but no pressure. Hell on Earth was worth several years of my Patreon money
Colin McFadzen
Absolutely incredible series guys. Huge shout out to you two and everyone else who helped out. Very much looking forward to the bonus content
Erik Coates
Terrific series! Thank you
Alex Greenberg
Incredible series. Thank you Matt and Chris
S
What an absolute ride. Had such a good time listening to this. Gave me that blow back fix I needed but with AP Euro content
Raoul Lundberg
The more recent series The Devil’s Whore (starring Andrea Riseborough, with Michael Fassbender as Rainsborough & Dominic West as Cromwell) is a good leveller-friendly dramatisation.
Sean Orr
Helluva closing monologue, boys.
Clammy_Damp
Nutted my drawers the second I heard “7 bonus episodes”
Matthew Dunn
Gotta say this was amazing. Chris and Matt’s talks are a 1000 times better than any religious sermon I ever heard. Besides the materialist analysis of the birth of capitalism, it had great little tidbits like how Princess Diana was a descendant of Beer George
Braedon
Really good shit lads, loved the closing bits from both of you.
Sandra
the ascension of England seems like such a deus ex machina, the writers really ran out of ideas
Brendan Deery
Excellent work thank you
Suckinonachilidawg
I love the theme music. This show was packed with knowledge and good story telling. Two thumbs way up!
ClownBabee24
A series on Napoleon... PLEASE
Daniel Kamen
Matt sounds like a 10th grader asked to read paragraph 5 on p. 216 from the textbook for the class.
Keenan Nilsen
This is an amazing series, thank you for all of your work
Gurjot
Will you guys also release the music used in the series? The one that was playing when Matt was starting his final analysis rips.
Gurjot
Thank you Matt and Chris for the excellent series.
Evan C.
I really hope you guys win some awards for this
Tyler Moss
Great series thank you guys
Mike Mariano
Still listening but congratulations! The Wilhelm Scream gets me every time.
J Fitz
Can't even say what was the best part of this series: the depth of the research, the thematic organization of each episode, the perfectly timed sound effects, the music... bloody masterclass.
calvin kilby
You killed it. I hope you do more of these blowback-style miniseries.
Jennifer Reft
LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH
Gumbo Pie
The series is so dense yet so enjoyable and plays out like a true mini-series that I know I'll be starting from the beginning again very soon. Amazing replay value and great job!
Bobby Frith
great series. compelling storytelling, amazing delivery, amazing soundtrack, so engaging start to finish. y'all have achieved something truly special here with this project, so thank you and congratulations!
Salgarious
Great work yaddy yaddy ya, where can we listen to the soundtrack?
Tom Sullivan
Congrats Chris and Matt on this incredible series.
Donald
Great work guys. Such a great series with a ridiculous amount of information. I'd have to listen to it 3 times just to get a functionable understanding of it.
Adam H.
Very well done. Hell of Presidents was great too. I hope you guys keep doing these. I know Matt is a big Civil War head. I'd love to hear that series.
Shartk
Congratulations. Wonderful series 👍
Don Friðrik Ólafsson
Tremendous work guys
Carole Oleniuk
Thank you. A fine example of historically materialist documentary radio programming. May I have some more please.
Nimbly Bimbly As FUCK
Bravo on the series fellas! Still hope we get the Thirty Years War version of We Didn't Start the Fire!
Alan
Congratulations, boys. You did a good thing there. The whole series was great and the final summations were truly *mwah!* Looking forward to the bonus eps and beyond! Keep up the good work.
skrrt vonnegut
This was a ride, god damn. Where's the ERFURT LATRINE DISASTER easter egg in the interactive atlas though?
Dan Anderson
That was a brilliant series and a brilliant ending. I'm not particularly well read, but you guys made it quite accessible. I listened to the last little bit sitting in a nice warm bath, and it was deeply affecting. Thanks guys
Joshua Russert
Thank you so much!
Caz VanDevere
This was so sick. You guys fucking rock. Thank you so much for being awesome and bringing the cleansing firehose of knowledge to the filthy unwashed peasantry.
Andrew Johnson
I’m really enjoying this series. And he’ll of presidents.
Isaac Larkin
Hell of an ending, very well done.
Carter Drake
I’m so sad it’s oven already :,(
Madeleine Winters
Great series guys, absolutely loved it. I do want to mention that Praise-God Barebones had a son, named If-Christ-Had-Not-Died-For-Thee-Thou-Hadst-Been-Damned Barebones, who changed his name to "Nicholas" after the Restoration and became a London property developer and free market economist
KatrinaJadeHelm
This lived up to the hype.
Andrew Cross
This was so dope, Matt going from a pure riffer to working with more scripted content has been good to see
Christian Kaiser
the last 20 min had me sitting like Nelson seeing Andy Williams
Stefan Catinella
Congratulations that was an amazing series. That you both. Is there a place where I can download the main theme? I love it so much!
Matthew Silverman
Banger ending fellas
James Browning
What a send off Chris. It's always the end of the world and birth of a new one. Excellent series guys. I look forward to what you do next. This has happened before,and it'll happen again. So many instances in this series that parallel our own current state of affairs though through the lens/terms of the times.
David Wych
This was so sick, thanks boys
Justin Antonucci
Fantastic series guys
maudlin
So glad you guys mentioned Drogheda in this one (excellent pronunciation btw)! I’ve lived there my whole life and even though the cromwellian conquest was centuries ago, a lot of what happened is still visible in the town. We have a street called scarlet street, because its said that the he killed so many people here that the streets ran red with blood, hence the name. Even though he killed hundreds of people here he gave us a pretty decent tourist trade as a result, so at the end of the day its not all bad
Major bit me
Is Cromwell the Protestant Trotsky?
Rohmer Simpson
This happened to my buddy Eric
Saga
Fantastic series, well done guys! It took me a couple of eps to get my head around it, so I'm tempted to do a replay now that the main eps are out. Hope you do more of this in future.
Dylan Schwaegel
Masterfully done. This series perfectly illustrates the value of history as a means of interpreting the present. When we feel overwhelmed by current events and fearful of the future, history can help put everything in context. At best it can inspire hope and action when people see the moment for what it is. Keep up the great work guys. It's been truly enlightening.
Tim Mullen
I know this isn’t the last episode, but thanks Matt and Chris for this unreal series. Looking forward to the episodes every week has made my last semester of school bearable
SJ
FYI: There's a fictional and royalist-friendly version of the Protectorate and Restoration, By the Sword Divided, all episodes on YouTube. Fun fact, the actor (Peter Jeffrey) who played Oliver Cromwell in that series played Philip II of Spain in an earlier and more famous series, Elizabeth R. The actor has yet another turn at a very religious man, when he plays a tortured and imprisoned preacher sentenced to death in Henry VII Tudor's reign, in the series In the Shadow of the Tower. Honestly, it would be fun to listen to Matt comment through these 1970s-1980s costume dramas.

Should’ve closed the series with this https://youtu.be/8OyBtMPqpNY

Finally mentioning the Irish.
Johan Stefonski
Amazing. Can't wait for the bonus eps. Thanks for this beautiful and revolting history.

Great job boys

Also TIL Royal Oak
Alec
To Chris, Matt, and all the supporting cast, you did amazing work on this series!
Degrassi Knoll
Listening from my hollowed out Oak tree. A stellar episode capping off a stellar series. I've actually listened to every episode with my Dad, who is *very* different politically, but weve found a nice common ground in this series. THANK YOU- this has been equal parts informative and entertaining. Chris gets extra points for the EXCELLENT production, but professor Matt was a star as always. Looking forward to whatever is on deck..
Mickey Gallz
Wow just wow
A Witherspoon
Great series! I would pay extra to get more content like this and less movie filler.
Scert
Hey chapo, you've made something you should be proud of. This has been an amazing series. Please continue to make series like this in the future. Your research and commentary are incredibly digestible. I've been week to week for the next episode. Great, great work.
Nixper
Well done fellas
JD
Really blew my hair back
Jammy Cooks
I could cry. Love both of you, love this series.
JMB
Something special this series. Really enjoyed it. Every episode is worth a relisten. It's so dense, every single image has so many things going on.
Bryan Jennings
Fantastic series. Chris's philosophical ending of why they did this series paired perfectly with Matt's explanation of how to understand capitalism rise you have to look so much further afield than just the place it eventually manifested. Also serious respect the music for this series, they really made a harpsichord go hard.
Robert Armstrong
Goddamn, Chris, that ending hit HARD.
Russell Sugden
If there was one thing I learned in middle school in Leeds, it was the importance of the Battle of Leeds in 1643, on which the history of the whole human race turned…and you skipped it 500 guys slugging it out in the Main Street of town and that decided the whole of history thereafter. Surely worth a mention? 😉
Michael Ehrenreich
A series on the 1848 revolutions would rock
Robert Mehling
Bravo, what a great series!
Ed Goddard
Thank you for creating this excellent series. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the bonus episodes. Also.. greetings from Huntingdon, England
Gubriel
So happy Matt said on the last stream that maybe the Spanish Civil War will be the next series - my family was tied into that war very closely and I think it's just a generally fascinating topic.
