What episodes do you talk about Christopher Columbus
Oh man, if you're looking to dive into the Christopher Columbus conversation, you've definitely got to check out two episodes.
First up, there's the episode with Neil deGrasse Tyson titled "How Christopher Columbus Was a Dick." We really go into the dark side of Columbus, discussing how he was celebrated for so long while completely ignoring the atrocities that occurred during his voyages. It's wild how history is presented to us when we’re kids versus what we learn as we get older.
Then, there's another episode where we dig into the broader context of empires and conquerors. We touch on Columbus again in relation to the brutal history of conquest during that era. It’s eye-opening, really, to think about how these stories have shaped our understanding of history and why we celebrate certain figures.
So, yeah, check those out! They’ll really make you rethink Columbus and the narrative we've been fed.
