My desert island podcast

If I could listen to only one podcast for the rest of my life I’d most likely choose the BBC’s Witness History.

CIA first coup in latin America

It is such a pleaser listening to these podcasts , first hand accounts of people who were witnesses to historic events, be they gruesome, happy, sad or inspiring. they reflect the complex character of humanity. I specially love listening to old grainy audio clips of important people.

Please have a podcast on Congo and Patrice Lumumba

European loving America ,

Witness History

Witness History gives you a new dimension of historic events through direct eye wittness accounts. So interesting!
