The Napoleon Bonaparte Podcast #36 (Audio) – The End Of The Empire
Posted on 31. Jan, 2008 by Cameron in Podcast
In this episode David explains the Machiavellian machinations of Joseph Fouche in the days after Waterloo; how Napoleon was trying to manage the destiny of the Empire from his bath; and the events leading up to Napoleon’s final abdication from the throne and then declaring a regency in the name of his son, Napoleon II.

The theme music is La Marseillaise. Yes, we know it isn’t necessarily relevant to Napoleon but it’s hard to beat when it comes to French themes! The music at the end of today’s show is Marche de la Garde à Waterloo. You can find it, along with many other Napoleonic tunes, on this site. Thanks to Ben for the link!
Just FANTASTIC!!
Two episodes in such a short period of time… and now with video…
You spoil your audience, gentleman…
Keep doing it
It is enormously appreciated… the sole problem with this show is that it puts the standard of podcasting so high that a person tends to stop liking most of the other podcasts available elsewhere…
Thank you!

Hey Guys,
Great to have new episodes, especially now with Video!
Cameron, what’s going on with the “Starring†credits flying by at 52:54 in the video podcast? I caught this text going by when I was watching the video podcast and I must admit I’m pretty confused. Is this a riddle of some sort? I have to think that this was deliberately included. For those who didn’t catch this just go to 52:54 into the video podcast and have the pause button ready. It reads:
Starring
Iris as Bridgette
Tore as Ivo
Bridgetter as Iris
Ivo as Tore
Keep up the good work.

Whoops! Looks like I must have accidentally dropped an extra copy of the pre-fabbed iMovie credits into the video! Please ignore.
Hello
can anybody give me a link to the full song at the end of the show?
Regards,
Trevor
Here you go Trevor.

(I hope the link works.)
I spent quite a bit of time trying to track down this version soon after I started listening to the podcast.
It’s definitely a must have.
Enjoy!
