In 1000 years people will still want theories as to the demise of the Soviet Union.
For me...its bad hats.
We all know the Catholic Church's penchant for haberdashery but man are Russian hats just awful. Just the worst.
From the paper hats the miners wore, the bad military hats and whatever the hell Lagosov wears, and the the stereotypical Russian....fur hat?
Awful. All of it. I'd love to see a Russian Baseball team in those enormous Fur Hats.

Enjoyed the series when it came out. Didn't realize they had a similar podcast like HBO did for the Last of Us.
Going back and checking them all out.
I think it's an even better podcast too. The comparison to real history is much more interesting than the comparison to a video game (not to say The Last Of Us' podcast was bad, but Chernobyl benefits from even richer source material).

I have to agree with this. I watched Chernobyl...but the podcast afterwards? It adds so much both to the show itself but also to the context of the event...
It just has so much more gravity.

Is it worth listening too on its own much later? I didnt listen when I watched it a few years ago
The Pacific would have been a lot better without the Jon Basilone story. Just Sledge and Lecky. I get that he was a Medal of Honor winner, but it wasn't a great part of the show.
