We launched The Resistance Hub Podcast 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, the ones who need to understand how these forces shape their lives. The show runs weekly on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music, 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.

Where to Listen
The show is free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music. Spotify carries the interactive tools we lean on most, including Q&A, polls and episode chapters, while Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music put the same catalogue in front of listeners who never open Spotify. Wherever you subscribe, the episodes are identical and there is no gatekeeping.
Distributing across all three services gives us reach and real-time feedback at the same time. Listener response tells us what resonates, which sharpens our focus on the topics that matter to you rather than to policymakers and insiders. Between them the three platforms span the regions and demographics we most want to reach.
What You’ll Hear
The Resistance Hub takes a unique approach to podcasting. Instead of relying solely on live guests, the show leverages advanced AI hosts. This keeps production costs low and the content free for listeners, allowing us to focus on substance over spectacle and deliver consistent, high-quality episodes without paywalls.
Each episode draws from a curated mix of original articles, in-depth analysis, and essential public domain works. These form the backbone of understanding resistance, irregular warfare, and social movement theory. By blending contemporary reporting with timeless principles, we ensure every episode connects historical context to today’s realities.
What to Expect Each Episode
1. Curated Source Material: Insights distilled from The Resistance Hub’s own reporting, combined with historical and doctrinal texts that remain relevant in modern contexts.
2. Evaluated Classical Strategies: A breakdown of proven approaches from resistance history, adapted to today’s geopolitical and societal landscapes.
3. Accessible Analysis: Complex concepts explained in plain language, making high-level theory understandable and actionable for a general audience.

New episodes release every Monday, giving you a consistent, reliable source of insight to start your week. Each episode blends historical perspective, current events, and essential resistance theory to help you see the bigger picture behind the headlines and understand how events connect across regions and time.

Where to Start: Ten Foundational Episodes
These ten episodes are the best entry point into the catalogue. They 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. New episodes have released every week since launch, so the catalogue now runs well beyond this list.
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 of raid, ambush and reconnaissance, the 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 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.
