Ian Crosson appeared as a guest on Timcast IRL in an episode titled Timcast IRL #798 Biden Ukraine Corruption SECRETLY RECORDED, Trump VOWS Prosecut, broadcast in June 2023. During the broadcast, Crosson participated in discussions regarding political corruption, international conflicts, and contemporary governance. When the conversation touched upon historical civil conflicts and military history, Crosson strongly urged the audience to seek out primary historical literature. He recommended Always with Honor by Pyotr Wrangel, characterizing it as the absolute best book on the subject whatsoever. By directing listeners to Wrangel's memoirs, which detail the Russian Civil War from the perspective of the anti-Bolshevik White Army commander, Crosson emphasized the value of eyewitness historical accounts in understanding the chaos of revolution and civil conflict. His emphatic endorsement underscored a belief that contemporary political understanding must be grounded in the detailed study of past military and political struggles. Crosson used his platform to direct attention away from daily news cycles and toward enduring historical texts that chronicle the collapse of states and the realities of armed conflict.
