Our take on Legacy podcast

Afua Hirsch and Peter Frankopan invite you to rethink the past and explore the complex lives of historical figures. Legacy, a collaboration between Goalhanger and Wondery, kicks off with a fresh look at Napoleon Bonaparte, promising to challenge our long-held views. Hirsch, known for her work on post-colonial perspectives, and Frankopan, a global history professor, combine their expertise to reevaluate icons like Nina Simone and Mikhail Gorbachev in future episodes. Legacy is a history podcast by Wondery and Goalhanger.
