Today listened to the Vasco Da Gama podcast while visiting the beach near Calicut where he first landed in India - fabulous synchronicity, Dan’s narration made it all so much more dimensional and vivid.
A mind opening journey

After amusingly finding Dan’s podcast after After Dark and Kate Lister’s one - I am slowly catching up with the years worth of podcasts created here. They have rejigged my interest in history and have genuinely stopped my husband and I in our tracks while listening. These podcasts have invoked tears and laughter. Should be prescribed listening.
Terrific podcasts
