Monuments, Memory and the Politics of Britain’s Dark Past

An in‑depth look at how Britain’s museums, memorials and public spaces are being re‑contextualised to reckon with colonial exploitation, slavery and other painful chapters. We trace the debate around plaques, apologies, protests and the power dynamics that decide what stories survive on stone and in policy. The episode asks who gets to write history for future generations and how evidence, politics and memory intersect. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
