Just like every other British history podcast. Oh, Hernan Cortez and those awful Spanish Catholics, putting and end to the Aztec empire of human sacrifice and skin suits. Hey, apart from all that human sacrifice, they weren’t so bad! Cortez had a handful of men and horses. He was only successful because the neighbors of the Aztecs feared and hated them. The culture of the Mexica, by the way, has hardly disappeared. Look at the celebration of the Day of the Dead. Look at the death worshipping cults of the various cartels, like the Santissima Muerte.

One of the narrators is confused as to what IS a feminist. Margaret Thatcher is the very definition of a feminist which is to live her life as she wanted, whatever that may be.

Looking forward to that one.
