The podcast episodes explore the enduring legacies of colonialism, including the lasting impact of colonial violence, resource extraction, and oppressive policies on colonized populations.

For example, the episode 'The Creation of the Congo Free State' examines how King Leopold II's brutal regime in the Congo Free State shaped the path to Congolese independence and left a legacy of trauma. The episode 'Bengal famine: The WWII tragedy the world forgot' looks at how the Bengal famine of 1943, exacerbated by British colonial policies, was a massive tragedy that has been marginalized and forgotten in historical narratives.

These episodes highlight how the legacies of colonialism, including racial oppression, exploitation, and the suppression of marginalized voices, continue to shape the present-day realities of formerly colonized societies.
