I highly recommend Mike Duncan's "Revolutions" podcast, starting with season 3 (the French Revolution). It is really interesting to see how sometimes the even the threat of revolution brings change.

Agreed. Currently devouring the Russian revolution series: concrete decisions on reforms are made based on elite opinion of conditions on the ground, and arguments to sway those opinions can turn on seemingly minor events / personalities
