The Siege of Baler: Log Cannon Republicans #war #podcast #historytime #philipines #spain - Video

Joe and Nate confine themselves, like the colonial Spaniard, to another small, hot, and humid space, to recount the tale of the Siege of Baler, a clash between the receding power of the Spanish Empire and the gendarmes of the local Filipino population that had grown to outnumber the colonial authority they were meant to uphold. Featuring returning guest, dysentery, who once again claimed more lives than bullets did, the boys delve into the extremely masculine aesthetics of the Guardia Civil uniforms, DIY artillery encampments, and Nate going hog wild for pork sisig.
