Genre: It just feels like a conversation between two good friends in a good meaning and sense of the word and educational.

Podcast Review: It's a little hard to say who the target audience for this podcast is sometimes for History fans, Historians, High School History students. Hard to find their sources that they used. They do appear to cover a wide array of topics from everything that someone could think of. You could go into their catalog search a topic and you will find something that you are looking for. The podcast episodes from what I saw appear to be around usually 30 minutes. 

Interesting Information: It gives important information about the relationship between Russia/USSR and Ukraine and connects with modern affairs. On What is currently going on in Ukraine and the long history between both regional powers. The flag of Ukraine is Yellow is the grain and the blue is meant to be sky. 

Two Concepts: Its widely written about the relationship between the USSR specifically Joseph Stalin. He attempted to kill Ukrainian Identity during Stalin Regime. By creating an artificial famine where much of the grain was being exported away. What a Kulak is a peasant who owned 8+ acres who the USSR govt saw has a problem. A fear has an enemy to the collectivization of farmland in Ukraine.  

Teaching Application I: The role of the Kulak on the Soviet Union and Ukrainian identity. A specific social status class that Stalin has a problem for his regime something that could get in the way of breaking the spirit of the Ukrainian people.

Teaching Application II: You could use this 5-year plan and compare it with Mao's great leap forward.

I see a similarity a attempt to modernize both sees themselves has followers of Communism and Marx trying to become a global super power. Where grain export played a factor in both

Teaching Application III: Holodomor The Ukrainian Famine talking about Stalin struggle to implant his plans of collectivization. 

Pro: A student could listen to it while multi-tasking gives them more freedom its being able to hold a lecture while away from class.

Anti: The bias that the people have in the story telling, embellishing events to make it more interesting. Making stuff up to help push their narrative or their point of view. Sponsors could be a problem maybe.
