A deep dive into Joan of Arc — the teenage girl who became one of history's most enduring icons. Jem unpacks the real story behind the legend: the brutal, decades-long war between England and France, how a 16-year-old hearing voices managed to turn the tide of a 75-year losing streak, and why her brief, three-year story has fueled 500 years of movies, operas, pop songs, and pop culture obsession. From Warhammer to Bill & Ted, Joan's fingerprints are everywhere — and this episode asks why.

Four years into Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the war has become longer than World War II lasted for Russia itself—yet the invading forces have barely taken two regions. In this sobering anniversary episode, host Jem Duducu examines why Putin's "special military operation" has stalled, what the devastating human and economic costs mean for Russia's future, and whether peace is any closer in 2026.
