About

Epic histories from the developing world, through the eyes of the marginalized. Hear about ambitious Emperors, cunning corporations that colonized half the world, the treasure ship of an infamous sci-fi writer, and other tales, in Season 1: Trade Winds. Hosted from India, journalists Mary-Rose Abraham and Gayathri Vaidyanathan tell stories about colonialism, science and cultures. This binaural (3-D) sound podcast will immerse you in the past.

We are both long-time audio producers and journalists. We enjoy few things as much as hearing intriguing tales out of history. We think these stories can help make sense of our sometimes-inexplicable world.
