Well made, interesting

For me, this bridged a knowledge gap I didn’t know I had. I learned in school about both the Slave Trade and the Industrial Revolution, but I’d never joined the two in the way that should have been obvious. Our national understanding of the British Empire is fragmentary, it’s good to join the dots. It’s interesting the guardian has chosen to do this. I’ll listen to the other episodes with interest. Hopefully it will be done well, this is a good start.

As a Guardian reader, and hailing from Manchester, this work has opened my eyes to my ignorance of history and the system that has prevented the telling of it.
A podcast EVERYONE should listen to

Heartbreaking history that, sadly, cannot be altered. This story MUST be told and retold and never be forgotten. Makes me ashamed to be British.
So well told and interesting
