Thank you for this. I have not know where to start when speaking to people who apparently appreciate nothing of the history--including a friend who grew up in the region of Italy Mussolini created by draining swamps, where M is still revered.
I also recommend a 9 minute video by Prof Timothy Snyder from Oct 17, 2024. "Professor, why is Fascism bad?". https://substack.com/@snyder/note/p-150385163?r=av3fz Background noise on soundtrack, but well worth it. It was an addendum to a NY Times opinion piece Snyder wrote.
Professors Snyder, Jason Stanley (author of "How Fascism Works"), and Marci Shore have left tenured positions at Yale to teach in Canada, realizing that they will not be able to speak as freely in the US. Three of our most noted experts on Fascism, very courageous people, felt they had to leave.
I'd be very appreciative if you could mention what kinds of subscription people in US or in Italy (or with VPN) might need in order to view the series.
Thanks for the Snyder video, I'll definitely watch it. I'm a big fan of his, he's incredibly knowledgeable on Ukraine's history too. Regarding watching M, in Italy i'm pretty sure it's still available on Sky Italia. Here in UK it's on Sky and Now. I'm not actually sure whether it's come out in the States. I had a little google search but no luck. I suspect it hasn't come out yet which is a shame because it's certainly topical!
Wow. I’ll certainly have to watch it. Btw, very fortuitous that the Sky News interview fell on your shift (unless, of course, that was deliberate? Can’t think of a better person than you to do such an interview 😉)
If you mean the word ‘read’ the past tense of the verb read is spelled the same but pronounced red. Because the English language is nuts. If it’s something else please let me know ‘cause I can’t find it

Well, regarding the timing of the interview....you make your own luck, as they say! 😉
Disappointed you weren't credited on the screen... What were they thinking?
Comment of an Italian late grandmother of a friend ‘at least when Mussolini was in, we could leave our front doors unlocked’ - worth thinking about.
There's a grammar mistake in the first sentence.
