About this talk

Empire podcast co-hosts William Dalrymple and Anita Anand explore the good, the bad and the ugly of imperial history. From anti-colonial uprisings in India to erotic poetry festivals in ancient Gaza, drug-dealing English merchants in China, and the Mongolian tribe who dared to kidnap the wife of Genghis Khan, Empire spotlights dramatic stories from world history that were left out of your schoolbooks. Anand and Dalrymple’s cocktail of deep historical knowledge and lighthearted banter has grown a global audience of dedicated fans, and now you can see them live on stage as part of Goalhanger: The Rest Is Fest.
