70. The Rise and Fall of the East India Company

For a historical example of just how incredibly devious, vile and downright evil a corporation can be, look no further than the East India Company's undisputed reign of terror. You may recognise these foes as the non-magical, mercantile, malevolent force two of the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels and unsurprisingly they are so much worse than is portrayed in a Disney movie (or two.) So get ready for some capital colonialism and listen to the tale of the EIC. orld Pageant is a historic event that you've probably never heard of. On November 20th 1970, worlds collided with rigging accusations, bombs, thinly-veiled racism and the second wave of feminism, all topped off with a sparkly tiara.    Hosted by Katie Charlwood   Tell me where to go on tour!
