From Wondery and Goalhanger Podcasts, Afua Hirsch and Peter Frankopan tell the wild stories of some of the most extraordinary men and women ever to have lived – and ask whether they have the rep they deserve. Should Nina Simone’s role in the civil rights movement be more celebrated than it is? When you find out what Picasso got up to in his studio, can you still admire his art? Was Napoleon a hero or a tyrant - or both? (And, while we’re at it, was he even short?) Legacy is the show that looks at big lives from the perspective of now – and doesn’t always like what it sees. Listen to Legacy on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can binge episodes early and ad-free on Wondery+. Join Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Fine, but skip the moral grandstanding please
27 Nov
I listen to this podcast for the history. Unfortunately the podcast hosts (especially Aqua) are insufferable when it comes to their chronological snobbery (thank you C.S. Lewis). The moral grandstanding about people from the past (Thatcher, Churchill, amongst others) is cringeworthy. For a real history podcast I recommend The Rest Is History, where the adults are in charge. For historic events this podcast is OK, provided that you are able to suffer through the parts where the moral superiority of the adolescent podcast host Afua is displayed.
