Empire, Republic and Shadow Wars
Empire, Republic & Shadow Wars connects the battles you know to the battles you’re not supposed to notice. I’m Shawn—teacher and historian (B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. coursework in U.S. military history & empire). You’ll still get cinematic arcs on the Pacific War and Vietnam—and we’ll dive into the shadow wars: the war on terror, the war on drugs, covert finance, BCCI, and alleged/Documented intersections of intelligence services and the drug trade. We follow the paper trails, declassified files, and institutional incentives that move power.

My daughter has been listening to some of your podcasts. She enjoys the content but tends to retain information better if she can read along. Is there any way to get transcripts of the episodes she is listening to? She is listening on Spotify. Are transcripts possibly offered on a different platform? If you have any suggestions on how to get the transcripts, I would appreciate it. Thanks!
I'm considering assigning your podcast as resources for my APUSH students this year!
