Interesting Sapiens

Zain Azhar

Exploring the very fascinating human beings throughout history and alive today one at a time. For anyone who is interested to learn about history, philosophy, crime, geography, music or anything really from the lens of the people that shaped them. As we explore different Interesting Sapiens we ask ourselves questions to reflect and grow, and (possibly) stay entertained through my occasional terrible humour.

    Episode #2: Antoine De Tounens

    We explore the life of Antoine De Tounens, a French lawyer who claimed to be King of a huge part of South America but was called insane by everyone else, and how his acceptance could have changed not only the landscape of the world map but also the lives of millions of indigenous people in South America.

    Episode#1: Ching Shih

    We discuss the fascinating life of the world's most successful female pirate: Ching Shih(70,000 men and 400 ships!), and how she got there starting from working in a brothel, marrying her step-son (yup) and establishing a Code of Ethics to govern her enormous fleet of pirates which included some (arguably) insanely progressive ideals that led to her fleet staying undefeated for three years amongst other key events.
