Series Summary:After the Fall is a true crime podcast unlike any other. Hosted by Odessa Lane—a former crime scene photographer turned audio detective—this series traces the ripple effects of a single crime across the lives it fractured.

They’re what-was-lost. What-happened-next. What-refuses-to-die.

Socialism was man's most ambitious attempt to supplant religion with a doctrine claiming to ground itself in "science". Each failure to create societies of abundance or give birth to "the New Man" inspired more searching for the path to the promised land: revolution, communes, social democracy, communism, fascism, Arab socialism, African socialism. None worked, and some exacted a staggering human toll. Then, after two centuries of wishful thinking and bitter disappointment, socialism imploded in a fin de siecle drama of falling walls and collapsing regimes.
