Once upon a time, Amazon Music met audiobooks and listeners everywhere rejoiced.

Oh yeah.

Because now they could listen to one audiobook title a month from an enormous library of popular audiobook titles, including romanticity,

autobiographies, true crime, and more.

Suddenly listeners didn't mind sitting in traffic or even missing their

flight. Amazon Music Unlimited now includes Audible. No way. Download the Amazon Music app now to start

listening. Terms apply. This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I am Gaius. Germanicus

is here. Giackeye brothers are coming later in the program. Right now,

we're by the Thames, drinking our cup of wine, headed to the theater later, and reflecting

Germanicus and I have identified the direction.

We're not making predictions, just the direction of events.

We had identified the direction of the Ukraine war.

We had identified the direction of the Israeli defense of itself from the attack by Iran.

We had identified the direction of President Trump.

What we didn't know and couldn't have possibly anticipated,

but now that it's upon us must deal with,

is the speed that these things have happened.

Not months, not weeks, hours.
