How have I never heard of this guy before? He’s one of the most brilliant people I have ever heard. The amount of knowledge in his head about so many diverse topics is truly astonishing.
@timothyjohnson6258
Just the fact that he can explain all of these moments in history and give backgrounds on all of them extemporaneously is amazing.
@joshuaf7654
These historians are becoming my favorite episodes.
@kubrick2324
it's truly amazing how he lays things out. he has a clear direction and covers all the bases while telling a weaving story
@Arboflye2
Rick's memory is just out of this world... incredibly interesting episode... more of these historians please!!
@nebyoutesfaw4716
What a fascinating person! The fact that he can articulate all these moments and names so clearly without referring to a single paper is truly beyond me.
@cuatro336
I could listen to this dude talk history 24/7
@renteriajp
I have never been this excited to fall asleep listening to a podcast. 😂
@xPirus26
The most informative, kind of entertaining and simultaneously meditative way of gaining knowledge: listening to podcasts, my favorite ones being Lex Fridman and JRE. Thank you. ❤
@wildwallsart5622
For a conspiracy guy he’s very level headed, open minded and not judgmental. Rather than telling me what to believe, great guest.

Rick Spence was my major professor in grad school. I loved every class I took from him. Conspiracies and Secret Societies in History was by far the most fun. I was fortunate to have gotten to TA it when I got into grad school. That was like taking the course twice. Edit: Watching this is like sitting in his UIdaho office and picking his brains for one of my papers all over again. This really made me smile. I rarely watch YT videos over 30-40 minutes, but this was worth all 3.5 hours.
@LSDandMe
The way this guy can recall names and the smallest details consistently during this 3.5 hours is insanely impressive
@YouTubeAccount0000
This guy is so eloquent. Calm and easy to listen to.
@Ruudwardt
Lex, the episodes with historians have been all great. More please!
@jtcouch
I am glad to learn of Mr. Rick Spence and his work. Thank you Lex for always bringing in knowledgeable, credible guests of this caliber!

The language of symbolism teaches us a lot. The owl is nocturnal and hunts in the shadows, symbolizing secrecy. It also symbolizes wisdom. I learned this from Heckle Fish 😂
@D.NihilHEAVYIndustries
Thank you for continuing to bring new guests into my awareness, keep kicking ass, Lex!!
@shapursasan9019
The most significant show you have ever made! This interview was historic.
@julianwilson9730
Possibly one of the best Lex Podcasts ever!!! Rick Spence wove a truly compelling narrative. This podcast was better than any John Le Carre novel. Faster paced and more exciting and with more twists and turns - who would have suspected that Lenin was possibly an Okhrana agent!!! Well done to you both.
