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.

New favorite Podcast

Do you ever think your phone is listening to you? I was skeptical until now. I was talking with my mom wondering why Zimbabwe was once called Rhodesia and the next day this podcast discussing Cecil Rhodes popped up on my feed. I’m so glad it did. I enjoy the banter between to two hosts, their research, and their perspective. Keep up the good work.
Biased & untrustworthy hosts
20 sept
I struggle to find these hosts credible because their arguments seem biased and reductive. They make sweeping generalizations that oversimplify complex issues, which undermines the validity of their perspectives. Suggesting Marilyn Monroe dyed her hair blonde due to an aryan fixation in America and that Taylor Swift’s popularity is based on the fact that she “resembles the American flag” diminishes these women’s achievements and comes off as sexist. I started listening to the Hoover one but couldn’t get through it, these hosts seem so untrustworthy, especially when you hear them talk glowingly about Thatcher. It seems to be a reoccurring theme in British podcasting that they tend to avoid any self reflection instead often pushing strange, hateful claims on the US and its citizens without citing any sources.
Please leave personal politics and views out
18 sept
This could be such a great podcast if the hosts, mainly the female, would leave personal politics and views out. Making extreme statements about traditional wives, misogyny, and saying that currently women have no rights to their health, is misleading if not false. Making statements about the hopefulness of a person being a certain race, very weird. Why. We just want to learn about historic figures. Not get your personal agenda thrown at us.
Wonderful show!!!

Every season is fantastic on its own way. If you don’t like this podcast, you’re probably racist
