From Wondery and Goalhanger Podcasts, Afua Hirsch and Peter Frankopan tell the

wild stories of some of the most extraordinary men and women ever to have lived –

and ask whether they have the rep they deserve.

Should Nina Simone’s role in the civil rights movement be more celebrated than it

is? When you find out what Picasso got up to in his studio, can you still admire his

art? Was Napoleon a hero or a tyrant - or both? (And, while we’re at it, was he even

short?)

Legacy is the show that looks at big lives from the perspective of now – and doesn’t

always like what it sees.
