    21. Majapahit - Empire of the Islands
    31 Jul 2026

    Beneath the shade of an Indonesian teak forest, a great brick gateway stands in ruins...

    In this episode, I want to tell the story of the Majapahit Empire of medieval Indonesia. I want to show how this empire of the islands grew up on the volcanic island of Java, and how it beat the odds to survive in a world of medieval superpowers. I want to show how Majapahit expanded its influence and dominion to other lands, and undertook voyages that have few precedents in history. And I want to show what happened to bring this empire of the islands finally crashing down...

    In the far east of the Eurasian steppe, the sound of hoofbeats is growing...In this episode we travel along the vast grassland corridor of the steppe, to hear one of the most remarkable and unlikely stories from medieval history – the story of the Mongol Empire. Find out how this group of nomadic horse riders united the peoples of the Mongolian steppe, and forged them into a truly unique kind of state. Discover how they conquered much of the lands of Eurasia, and brought the distant cultures of China, Persia, the Middle East and Europe into contact.

Great story telling. Every new episode is much much anticipated. Great work, hope they keep producing more

Probably the best podcast

This is a superbly detailed podcast that brings to life parts of history that are barely covered in history lessons at school. I introduced my archeology loving father to it and he loves it too

A must listen.

Possibly THE BEST history podcast on the internet today!
I have listened to all of them multiple times, and will continue to do so!
It’s been a long wait for the Persian episode, hopefully more are in the pipeline! Paul Cooper is the GOAT!

Incredibly well narrated!
