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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Mystics | Aleister Crowley: The Wickedest Man In The World | 3

    What happens when you raise a child telling him he's the Beast — and he decides to prove you right? Could a man who genuinely repelled everyone around him have quietly shaped the culture we live in today? And, is the world of sex, drugs, and rock and roll actually the legacy of a repressed Victorian occultist with a god complex? Peter and Afua descend into the dark, theatrical, and genuinely troubling life of Aleister Crowley: English occultist, self-declared Great Beast 666, and the man who may have done more than anyone to wire transgression, desire, and spiritual hunger into the DNA of modern culture. 0:00 The wickedest man in the world — and why he owned it 6:00 The Exclusive Brethren: the suffocating sect that made Crowley inevitable 10:00 Cambridge, cigars, and erotic poetry: the beast is unleashed 15:00 Golden Dawn and the occult underground of Victorian London 20:00 Mountaineering, meditation, and the spiritual pick-and-mix 24:00 Cairo, 666, and the Book of the Law 26:00 Rose Kelly: the woman without whom none of it happens 33:00 The Abbey of Thelema and a scandal that shocks even the tabloids 38:00 How Crowley became the Beatles' and Led Zeppelin's spirit animal 42:00 Jack Parsons: the rocket scientist who performed Crowley rituals by night 44:00 Was Crowley a feminist?

    Mystics | Helena Blavatsky's Karma | 2

    Who invented the spiritual vocabulary of the modern world — karma, reincarnation, yoga studios, the idea that you can be "spiritual but not religious"? What if the hidden masters living in remote Tibetan mountains who inspired her weren't real — but the New Age movement they sparked absolutely was? And can you change the course of Western spirituality forever while being accused of fraud, plagiarism, and dropping fake letters through the ceiling? Peter and Afua explore the extraordinary life of Helena Blavatsky: Russian aristocrat, globe-trotting mystic, chain-smoking occultist and the most polarising spiritual figure of the 19th century — whose Theosophical Society gave us yoga mats, abstraction in art, and the modern wellness industry, all while she battled accusations of being one of history's greatest frauds. 0:00 Introduction: The Woman Who Invented New Age Spirituality 4:15 Russian Aristocrat: Growing Up Between Two Worlds 9:40 The Lost Years: Tibet, Egypt, and the Mysterious Mahatmas 16:20 Arriving in New York: Spiritualism, Grief, and the Telegraph 23:10 Meeting Henry Steel Olcott: The Partnership That Changed Everything 28:35 Isis Unveiled: 1,200 Pages That Sold Out in 10 Days 35:50 Moving to India: Strategic Genius or Cultural Appropriation? 41:20 The Mahatma Letters: Messages from the Ceiling 47:05 The Coulomb Scandal and the Hodgson Report 53:30 Vindication?

    Mystics | Nostradamus: The Arophecary | 1

    Nostradamus has predicted every major disaster in history — or so the internet would have you believe. Peter and Afua get behind the myth to meet the real man: a plague-era apothecary, rejected by the medical establishment, whose greatest invention wasn't prophecy — it was selling certainty to an anxious world.

    The cargo ship didn't just move goods — it moved civilisations. Peter and Afua trace 2,000 years of maritime trade, from Roman grain ships and spice routes to the Hanseatic League, the sugar plantations of Madeira, and the brutal economics of the triangular trade.

    Facelifts | The Gory Truth Behind the Celebrity Glow | 2

    Afua and Peter explore the "undetectable" world of deep plane facelifts, examining why celebrities are finally trading surgical secrecy for viral transparency. They dissect the astronomical costs of modern "tweakments" and the rising pressure to match AI-generated perfection as surgery recipients get younger than ever before.

    Facelifts | From Jericho to Kardashian | 1

    Peter and Afua delve into the surprising 9,000-year history of facial modification, spanning from ancient trephining rituals in Jericho to the "eerily impressive" modern results seen on Kris Jenner. They analyze how surgical techniques have evolved through a symbiotic relationship between wartime reconstruction and a global, often problematic, pursuit of Eurocentric beauty norms.
