We launched The Resistance Hub Podcast on Spotify to make the art and theory of resistance accessible to everyone. Too often, these conversations are by elites, for elites. While policy-facing content is important, our brand is designed for everyday people — those who need to understand how these forces shape their lives. With 39 episodes now published, the show has grown into a weekly source of analysis covering news, doctrine, theory, history, and the practice of resistance and unconventional warfare.
From unpacking world events to exploring the mechanics of social movement theory, each episode delivers tactical insight, evaluates classical strategies, and presents alternative approaches to modern challenges. Whether you’re facing business risk, social upheaval, or increasingly oppressive environments, The Resistance Hub can break it down in simple terms.

What to Expect in Our First Ten Episodes
Our launch lineup is designed to give listeners a deep, accessible foundation in the forces that shape modern resistance and irregular warfare. Each episode stands alone, but together they build toward a larger understanding of the tactics, strategies, and historical precedents that matter today.
We begin with “Much Ado About Drones“, exploring how unmanned systems are transforming both state and non-state operations. From there, “The Guerrilla Tactical Triad“ breaks down the core field actions — raid, ambush, and reconnaissance — essentials for understanding asymmetric engagements.
In “Mao Zedong’s Principles of People’s War“, we revisit a framework that influenced revolutionary movements for decades. This is followed by “The Desert and the Sword“, a dive into T.E. Lawrence’s unique approach to irregular campaigns. “Revolutionary Spirits“ shifts focus to Che Guevara’s theory of guerrilla warfare, separating the enduring lessons from ideological baggage.
Our mid-series episodes include “The OSS Simple Sabotage Manual Revisited“, translating World War II-era disruption tactics into modern relevance. We also explore “Why Politicized Militaries Are Vulnerable to Irregular Warfare“, analyzing structural weaknesses in authoritarian defense systems.
We then move into operational case studies. “Pipeline Wars“ examines energy infrastructure sabotage in West Africa. “A Tale of Two Campaigns“ contrasts domain dominance and denial strategies in the Russo-Ukrainian War. “From Protest to Resistance“ follows Turkey’s May Day crackdown to explore how movements adapt under pressure.
Whether you’re starting with theory, historical examples, or present-day events, these first ten episodes create an interconnected foundation. Each links to supporting articles and source materials on The Resistance Hub so you can go deeper.
OSS: Combined & Remastered — The Distillery Press edition brings together the foundational sabotage and intelligence manuals referenced across multiple podcast episodes, including the Simple Sabotage Field Manual.
