We’re nearing the end of Series 1 of Battle for Red October. I’ve just published the podcast version of 06: A Murder in Moscow.

Find it on Youtube here and on Google Podcasts here. It is available too on Spotify and on almost every podcast platform I’ve heard of.

There are only 3 major episodes left in this series:

07: Tsaritsyn. In the south, the town of Tsaritsyn tries to hold the line against the Don Cossacks. Here we see the rise to prominence of a certain Mr Dzugashvili. Both he and Tsaritsyn will be better known to history under other names…

08: Kazan. After a terrible disaster, the Red Army clings to a riverbank under enemy onslaught. Featuring armoured trains, Trotsky, and sudden reversals of fortune.

09: World Revolution. The final episode of the series, dealing with the colossal events of the last few months of 1918. Revolution in Germany transforms the situation. Meanwhile behind White lines, we see a counter-revolution within the counter-revolution.

I predict these 3 episodes will take us well into November because every second week I will be posting the podcast version (As you can probably tell from comparing the earlier to the more recent episodes, I’ve been spending more time on the podcast side of things as the series has gone on. It’s a lot of fun). I might also decide to intersperse these with another ‘Controversies’ episode.

Keep an eye out for Tsaritsyn which will go up around this time next week.
