Beethoven
Beaten as a child, ugly, bad at school and a loner. Those apparently are the ingredients to the greatest composer of all time. Ludwig Van Beethoven brought music to the same tier as literature and art and even eclipsed, as many would say, the great Mozart. Come with us as we show you why Beethoven was a world changer.

Ghengis Khan
He had 500 wives and has 350 million descendants today! He united the mongols and conquered more land than any man on earth. He seems to be ruthless in one moment and inspired in the next. China, Mongolia, Europe, Middle East and more all had their cultures influenced by this man. He allowed freedom of religion and thus had followers from Christianity to Islam to Buddhism.

Customer Reviews
Lacking balance
This podcast suffers from jaw-dropping levels of bias. Magnifying the positives and minimising the negatives of particular historical figures that align with a favoured worldview while doing the opposite for those that do not does not make for a podcast worth the precious time that it would take from your life. There are podcasts out there that treat historical figures with complicated legacies fairly. This one does not.
