  • Summary

  • Season 12 premiered October 20, 2024 – a nonfictional account of The Martian Revolution of 2247. Mike Duncan is taking everything he's learned from 12 seasons of historical revolutions - the repeating arcs, characters, ideas, events, and patterns which all revolutions seem to follow - and created a fictional history of the Martian Revolution of 2247. The series is written from the point of view of a historian working hundreds of years after the Martian Revolution and will be presented in the style and format of previous seasons of Revolutions. It will look, sound, and feel like a Mike Duncan history podcast…but will instead be a fictional narrative of a gripping science-fiction epic. Revolutions is a podcast that covers the great political revolutions that have defined the modern world. Each season is a long-form narrative covering a different defining revolutionary epoch across three hundred years of history. It explores in great detail the people, ideas, and events that challenged and toppled outdated regimes and replaced them with new governments. After more than 350 episodes over ten seasons of narrative nonfiction, the 12th season is a fictional account of the Martian Revolution of 2247. *BREAKING NEWS* In the fall of 2025, the Revolutions podcast will return to its roots by diving into the great revolutions of the 20th century. The new run of episodes begins with the story of Irish Independence, a dramatic upheaval in the wake of WWI that saw Ireland free itself from centuries of English rule. Full of inspiring personalities, tragic events, and thrilling triumphs, Irish Independence is one of the most gripping events in revolutionary history. Future seasons will plunge ahead through the turbulent 20th century, and include the Spanish Civil War, the Cuban Revolution, and the Algerian War of Independence.

Massively fascinating.

All of the works of Mike Duncan are thorough, empathic, direct and incredibly interesting. Mike walks us through the buildup, history, surrounding world and main characters of some of history most fascinating and chaotic times. As with all of his prior works, this is amazing, with no dull moments.
The way Mike will dive into explaining as much he can, to keep you on an understanding footing is honestly applaudable. I recommend this to any and all who wants to hear me out.

Some of history’s greatest events made easy to understand and fun to listen through.

Mike Duncan expertly weaves the story of some of history’s greatest events into a fun easy listen. He manages to keep the story interesting and informative while not getting bogged down in names, places and dates like so many others.
A must listen for anyone remotely interested in world history.

Wonderful

A fantastic series. Mike Duncan goes into great detail but with humour and a lightness of touch, covering Revolutions from 17C to the Soviet Union. Superb.
