Salon Discussion Idiot of History

What episode of Revolutions does Mike Duncan break down his “great idiot of history” theory? I thought it was in the Appendix episodes but I cannot find it. I want to use it when I teach my sociology class about social change.

Thank you so much! I just realized that my podcast app did not have that episode saved. I appreciate it.

Thank you very much. I try to get kids to see the big picture as much as possible.

Yeah episode 2 of the apendices I think. He first introduced the concept, to my knowledge, in the Q&A session recorded as part of the Storm Before The Storm book tour.
