Wondery

From Wondery and Goalhanger Podcasts, Afua Hirsch and Peter Frankopan tell the wild stories of some of the most extraordinary men and women ever to have lived – and ask whether they have the rep they deserve. Should Nina Simone’s role in the civil rights movement be more celebrated than it is? When you find out what Picasso got up to in his studio, can you still admire his art? Was Napoleon a hero or a tyrant - or both? (And, while we’re at it, was he even short?) Legacy is the show that looks at big lives from the perspective of now – and doesn’t always like what it sees.

Legacy

Joan's last-minute change of heart seals her fate. She faces the end with her usual indomitable spirit, while the King and country she’s given her life for, turn their backs. What is the true legacy of this girl who didn’t even make it out of her teens, but whose courage has inspired us for centuries?

Joan of Arc | The Birth of a Saint | 4

The march on Paris ends in failure and Joan’s star is beginning to wane. Maybe she is not sent from God after all?

Joan of Arc | Trial by Fire | 3

Joan's prophecy seems to be coming true. She's liberated Orleans and, dressed in her armour and brandishing her flag, is by Charles’ side as he’s crowned King of France. But Paris must still be won. Can Joan lead her troops to victory once more?

Joan of Arc | The Girl Who Made a King | 2

Joan of Arc is an ordinary French girl, unbothered by the war waging between France and England. Then, in 1425, she starts hearing the voices of saints – and of God. They say that she will be the one to restore Charles the Dauphin to his rightful place on the French throne. Can this teenager be the saviour her country is so desperate for?

Joan of Arc | The Maid of Orleans | 1

Stalin's paranoia and violence knows no bounds - even when it comes to those who might have helped him. But despite being denounced by successors from Kruschev to Gorbachev, today his reputation is strong as more and more Russians consider him a great leader.

Stalin | The Georgian Bandit | 1

After his beloved daughter, Anna, is taken by the Gestapo, Freud is finally persuaded to leave Vienna. He arrives in England to a rapturous welcome and starts seeing patients. Tragically though, his illness catches up with him and he dies just before WWII breaks out. 

How do we evaluate the legacy of the man who took us inside our own heads? Are his ideas still relevant? Psychoanalysts and Freud experts, Dr Susie Orbach and Professor Brett Kahr, join the discussion.
