Episode 2: God Save the Queen

from Rational Policy Hosted by Mike Coté

In this episode of the Rational Policy Podcast, host Mike Coté dives into the biggest international story of the week: the death of Queen Elizabeth II. He covers the topic from a historical perspective, exploring the life of the Queen, the changes which made her a link to a lost past, and her sense of duty, as well as the future potential of the monarchy to remain a going concern. After this obituary, the absurd reactions to the Queen's death from the progressive corners of media and academia are detailed and debunked, with a focus on explaining how various news stories mislead and hide the ball. Finally, Mike defends the Queen against these ahistorical assaults and musters a strong case that the British Empire itself was more good than bad. Stay tuned to the end for a review of Timothy Snyder's Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin.
