I've been talking with @afuahirsch about some of these themes on our #Legacy podcast - along with special guest superstar @GaryLineker 4/5

We’re shaking up #Legacy. After 21 series on big lives, we’re widening the lens to ideas, events….even foods.

Also: new format, same depth. And now TWO episodes a week with me & @AfuaHirsch.

Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Morning all. This will probably have more insight in it than anything that drip #afuahirsch has to say.

Part 1 is on The Root of Empires.
Hear why Adam Smith loved spuds - and why Diderot (and @afuahirsch) didn’t/don't.

And it's not just 'great men & women': this is history through a different lens. Parmentier, chuño, yields vs wheat - and how a tuber let Europe urbanise at pace

Reading Brit(ish) by @afuahirsch just unveils yet more things which should be part of the invisible privilege knapsack.

It’s the small things that build up #microaggressions. ‘It’s only a book. Don’t be so sensitive. It wasn’t meant like that’. And so on. Not thought through @Usborne

Exceptionally thought provoking evening with @JustinWelby and @afuahirsch at Lambeth Palace discussing power, truth and reconciliation.
Poignant takeaway, which very few of us can admit to is that
'to resolve conflict you do need to give up power' #BeTheChange
