RWN is the best analytic podcast I know, and one of only three currently that I pay to support, all through Patreon (the others are Aaron Mate and, starting this month, William Hogeland). John Dolan/Warnerd and Mark Ames do not rush to put out material. They are very thorough and maintain a high level of historical, contextual and analytic depth, expertise and research, and find the most awesome guests. (This is notwithstanding matters on which the hosts and I would disagree -- Covidianism, mostly, which barely figures here; also my internal jury is out on whose understanding of the current war in Ethiopia makes the most sense, given my ignorance).
Out of dozens of podcasts (mostly Youtube channels, actually) I watch or listen to here and there, this is always the one I put on as soon as it arrives. The current Civil War series is phenomenal. Can't take the time to list the many other highlights, but at random I think of the one on the 1979 storming of the mosques in Mecca. Also the series on the Yeltsin coup against the Russian parliament in 1993, when Ames was present in Moscow. Well worth the $5-$10 monthly cost (they charge $5 per podcast but no more than $10 a month, and have put out as many as four in a month). Well, if you're lucky enough to have that much to spare...
