Crisis strikes SPAIN’S 2ND REPUBLIC! As the various anarchist and socialist groups attempt to prevent fascism taking root in Spain, a tenuous POPULAR FRONT government is created. The forces of reaction - the Carlists, Catholic nationalists, disgruntled bourgeois, and the newly formed CEDA party - gather power, so do the COMMUNISTS, guided by the only workers party anywhere in the world to achieve state power - the mighty SOVIET UNION. Soon, the two forces will clash in a prelude to the greater conflict during the ‘34 ASTURIAN UPRISING. All the while, a cadre of REACTIONARY OFFICERS waits in the wings, waiting for their time to strike…
Special thanks to Travis from the (great) band Activity for the Spanish Bombs cover that anchors this ep. Check out their latest release here: https://activity.bandcamp.com/album/spirit-in-the-room
The first 3 episodes of this series were recorded before Matt's incident in September. So while these are new episodes, Matt is still recovering and working towards being able to complete recording the series.

2024-02-24 03:36:09 +0000 UTChoping he's doing well. "Estat" isn't too tough, it's just "estate" in English, but it means what we would think of as "state". So "United States" is "Estats Units" in Catalan, "Estados Unidos" in Spanish, or "États-Unis" in French. Once you notice they're all pretty similar, it's easy.
