War and Peace in just 7 years (WAPIN7)

S10E7. King of the Peasants

Indentured peasants, motivated by nothing more than a love of the land and a cripilingly inescapable system of debt and ownership. Poor? Definitely.Stupid? Perhaps.Violent? Only when drunk or angry.But forget what you might have heard about them down at your local gentlemans club, because this week we're joining the unwashed masses to discover first hand what they really think, believe and feel. Who leads them? What do they want? Will they ever be free?〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️Support the show, say Hello, and find the thoroughly diplomat extras at:patreon.com/wapin7Including...

S10E6. Now You See Me, Nasty Nick Me Not!

All good things must come to an end - like the weekend,  sleeping or a bowl of nice chips. Even bad things must come to an end, like the hokey cokey, January, or a bee attack. This week in War and Peace some things are coming to an end. But are these things good things, or bad things? Or to put it another way,  are they a bowl of chips, or an attack by bees, or something in between?Ultimately you must decide.〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️Support the show, say Hello, and find the thoroughly diplomat extras at:patreon.com/wapin7Including...

S10E5. The Tale of Two Circles

Circles, glorious circles, no beginning and no end, round as the day is long, perfect as a polished samovar at dawn.But what happens if you take the humble circle and then slightly overlap it with another circle? What then? What might happen? What could you call it? What would it do?Join us this week as we vennture into not one, but two War and Peace circles that risk overlapping at any moment.〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️Support the show, say Hello, and find the thoroughly diplomat extras at:patreon.com/wapin7Including...

S10E4. Naked Dusty Flesh

The dust. It's surrounds you. In your eyes, your boots, your soul - everything is dust. Through the dust you see a vision, a vision of your home also covered in dust - the lime trees? Dusty. Your ornamental English garden? Dusty. Your family, friends and beloved colleagues? Very dusty indeed. What does it all mean? Why is this dust here? Join us this week as we breathe the dust down deep to try and find out.〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️Support the show, say Hello, and find the thoroughly diplomat extras at:patreon.com/wapin7Including...
