Gedurende zijn regeerperiode heeft het Britse Rijk veel spullen gestolen. Tegenwoordig bevindt de buit van het rijk zich in musea, galerijen, privécollecties en begraafplaatsen met beleefde plaquettes. Maar de geschiedenis ervan is vaak rommeliger dan de plaquettes suggereren. In elke aflevering van deze wereldwijde hitpodcast neemt Walkley-bekroonde journalist, auteur en genetische potluck, Marc Fennell, je mee op het wilde, suggestieve, soms grappige, vaak tragische avontuur van hoe deze gestolen schatten terechtkwamen waar ze nu wonen. Deze objecten zullen ons uiteindelijk helpen de moderne wereld – en onszelf – in een ander licht te zien.
Throughout its reign, the British Empire stole a lot of stuff. Today the Empire’s loot sits in museums, galleries, private collections and burial sites with polite plaques. But its history is often messier than the plaques suggest.
In each episode of this global smash hit podcast, Walkley award-winning journalist, author and genetic potluck, Marc Fennell, takes you on the wild, evocative, sometimes funny, often tragic adventure of how these stolen treasures got to where they live today. These objects will ultimately help us see the modern world — and ourselves — in a different light.
