The first season - ten episodes - of Podyssey is a gift from me to you. But given the intense time commitment involved, if you want a 20-episode Season 2, it is up to you to commission it by supporting it. You can do so from as little as a fiver. I love you all, anyway. A x

OK, this is wild.

In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.

It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.

What the HELL?

But, in reality, the central place to look if we want to understand Trump and his policies is this:

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
