Podcast Overview

Why are things the way they are today? Why can't they be different? Join me, Agastya Mohanty, as we explore the long and winding road of history - tangled stories of revolution, war, empire, and figures who changed the world - for better or worse, and how their actions still reverberate in our lives today. Because the road can never arrive on its own; the present doesn't just appear - its always accompanied by the past.
