I talk to Dr. Christoph von Ach, the Founder and Honourary President of the Südtiroler Freundeskreis der Afrikaaner (The South Tyrolean Friends of the Afrikaners). We discuss his organisation's efforts to bring awareness to causes relating to Afrikaners, the history of South Tyrol, the parallels between the Boers and the South Tyroleans, and more.

I am joined by Hobambles, a YouTuber who loves the history of South African bush warfare technology and weaponry. He has done videos on the Eland light armoured car, the Ratel IFV, the Rooikat armoured vehicle, SADF bike squads, and the Hippo armoured personnel carrier (APC). We discuss his fascination with this genre of military technology, some Bush War history, and more.

The Head of the Orania Movement, Joost Strydom, joins me again to discuss this Afrikaner town's fundamental philosophy of own labour, recent international visitors to Orania, the new Paul Kruger statue, population growth, who can live in Orania, home ownership, cost of living, and more.

To celebrate another major milestone, 1 000 000 total views, I read and analyse another one of my favourite essays: 'After Empire' by Theodore Dalrymple (Published in States and Cities).

I am joined by Joshua Meservey, a senior fellow at Hudson Institute with a focus on great power competition in Africa, African geopolitics and policy, and counterterrorism. We discuss the strained relationship between the South African government and Washington, who is to blame, where the trouble started, AGOA, tariffs, what the future of the relationship looks like, and more.
