Nick Siekierski Podcast

Social media gives anyone the opportunity to broadcast their opinions on every subject, whether they are informed or not. The Russia-Ukraine War is no exception. In this episode I analyze the recent Twitter narrative that if only NATO had given Russia a guarantee that Ukraine would never be accepted as a member, there would have been no war. I am an independent historian and content creator with a special interest in Poland and Eastern Europe. Thank you for liking the video and subscribing to my channel if you enjoyed it.

Poland and it's capital, Warsaw, have entered into the public spotlight since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. In the inaugural episode of Radio Free Warsaw I share my concept of the show, some of the reasons why I moved to Poland and my thoughts about its place in the world today.

There is a growing wave of people who recognize that something is not right in the West. Former communist countries like Poland seem to offer a level of freedom that is becoming increasingly rare in the U.S. and the United Kingdom. My guest today, Andrew, left a successful and enviable academic career in London to travel across Europe. Five years later he chose to make Poland his new home. We talked about the reasons why, the state of English language instruction here and prospects for Poland to shape the narrative about itself instead of relying on hostile, foreign media.

Comics have become as politicized as the rest of American society. Alt Hero is an ambitious new project to take back this beloved medium from the Social Justice Warrior enforcers trying to shove their radical narratives down our collective throats. Alt Hero, brought to you by Vox Day, has raised over $150,000 on Kickstartr, which is over six times its original goal. Featuring such noted comics luminaries like Chuck Dixon (co-creator of Bane from the Batman series), Alt Hero is shaping up to be the defining comic series of the early 21st century.

Last Saturday marked President Trump's first 100 days in office. What were his most important achievements? Where has he fallen short? Listen to my take on both his international and domestic activities, the importance of the immigration issue and border wall construction and where he needs to go from here.

The West is facing an existential crisis. Who are we? The question of identity is crucial to the future of America and Europe. In this podcast I discuss my identity, why America has the right to defend hers and why immigration is such a pivotal issue today.

After months of delays, Apple's wireless, bluetooth earbuds, the AirPods, have been released. I got my hands on my pair four weeks ago and have been using them daily ever since. They are a big leap forward in mobile technology and are certain to appeal to millions of customers (once production meets the overwhelming demand). In this podcast I describe my experience using the AirPods, some of their quirks and what you can expect if you end up buying them.

President-Elect Donald Trump has yet to be inaugurated, but he has already turned the American and global political establishment on its head. I'm anticipating massive changes in the coming months and years, but the fulcrum on which his legacy will rest is his ability to address the immigration issue. 

Mike Cernovich is the world's leading mindset expert, he practices what he preaches. MAGA Mindset offers a compelling analysis of the political, cultural and social forces that propelled Trump as well as his extraordinarily ambitious mindset that has led him to the brink of winning the presidency of the United States. Perhaps more importantly, Cernovich gives readers Donald Trump's mindset blueprint to follow to make their own lives exceptional.  At a meta level this book is a clarion call for ordinary citizens to "Make America Great Again" by individually, by the millions, leading lives of great purpose and meaning. If Trump wins and his supporters recognize that they have their own part to play in the master plan, there is no limit to what can be accomplished.

Donald Trump is waging a three-front war against the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton, the Mass Media hive mind and the craven Republican Party. He is singlehandedly assaulting political correctness, the secular ideology of the progressive left and the most destructive force in Western society today. In less than three weeks America will make the choice whether it wants the civilization that made it great to survive or if the soulless groupthink of the multicultural left will prevail. I'm behind Trump 100%, listen below as I tell you why.

Earlier this month Apple revealed their AirPods, bluetooth earbuds that work seamlessly with Apple products. In this podcast I discuss the AirPod's features, the implications of their use in our daily lives and the huge consumer demand that might make them a multi-billion dollar moneymaker for Apple.

As part of the "Hunger Draws the Map" workshop in All Souls College at Oxford University, I gave a talk on on September 22, 2016 on the American Relief Administration operations in Poland after World War I. Listen to the podcast below or on iTunes. If you like what you hear then please leave a review and subscribe for new episodes every week.

Last week I spoke with my friend Jon, an Englishman from London, about the influence of the mass media in shaping culture and politics. 

On March 22, 2016 three suicide bombers wreaked havoc in Belgium, targeting the Brussels Airport and a busy, downtown metro station blocks away from the European Union headquarters. The Islamic State appears to be more capable than ever to launch attacks directly at the heart of the continent. Will EU leaders rise to the occasion, or have they revealed their inability to deal with the gravest threat to European security in our lifetimes?

March 1 was the National Day of Remembrance of the Cursed Soldiers, a recently created holiday in Poland that pays tribute to the anti-communist resistance after World War II.

Immigration is the key issue facing Western civilization. The crime wave that has accompanied the migrant crisis, particularly in Germany, has caused great alarm, as the German Mass Media and political class has tried to cover it up. Political correctness doesn't yet have a stranglehold on Polish culture in the same way where a controversial magazine cover on Europe and Islam recently made international headlines.

Over 1 million migrants entered Europe in 2015. The first few months of 2016 has witnessed an even higher rate of migrants into Europe than last year. Europe is facing a crisis of confidence in the leaders of the European Union and the Visegrad Group (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary) has taken the lead in asserting its right to protect its borders and limit the flow of foreigners into its territory. Can Europe survive?

In recent weeks we've witnessed an unprecedented flood of people streaming into Europe. Most are intent on reaching Germany and Sweden to take advantage of their generous, welfare systems. Europe faces an existentia crisis as the plans of the EU leadership clash with those of member states who aren't enthusiastic about fundamentally changing their societies.
