What can we discover about a place by exploring the histories of those who once lived there–and those who live there still ? In what ways do cultures build upon each other as populations come and go? How do they complement each other, interact, and leave their marks on the people that come after them? And are cultures truly ever lost, even if the people move on or evolve and adapt?

  • Great but needs work

    There is an obvious separation of Indigenous peoples and Europeans here with the inclusion of the Picts episode. Similar to how 18th century museums stuck dinosaurs and Native Americans together y’all stick an ancient dead culture with a dead language in the same category with living modern peoples. This is especially strange considering the Highlands Clans went through a recent period of cultural removal, suppression and destruction of the political structure. I have no idea why they would cho... more

  • Love this podcast!

    The first episode I listened to was about the Taino. It’s a topic that’s especially important to me as I lived in Puerto Rico for a couple of years. I absolutely loved hearing (and learning) more about the culture of an island that is forever inside my heart.

  • Beautifully told, fantastic research

    I would’ve thought all these cultures were completely lost to time. It’s remarkable to hear from the peoples themselves!

  • No white washing here

    I’ve listened to other “history and culture” podcasts but they are often told from the usual white/colonial perspective; this podcast is different! The sources of information are told by the descendants of each culture with amazing detail! I gave this a 5 star rating because I would not have easily found such a rich trove of information, I feel as if I have found a fresh spring of water in a bone dry desert. Thank you so much for the outstanding work put into this podcast, I can feel the love!
