E27 - The History of the Kurds, Ep. 1 w/ Djene Bajalan

Danny and Derek discuss what's been going on in Kazakhstan; next week's series of meetings between the United States, Europe, and Russia; the security cooperation treaty signed between Australia and Japan; the U.S. military budget; and why everything feels so strange these days. They then speak with Djene Bajalan, assistant professor of history at Missouri State University, about the history of the Kurds from the medieval period until the 19th century.
