In this podcast, we speak with historian Rana Mitter about China’s current historical narrative, broadcaster and historian Bettany Hughes about how memory affects history and giving Cleopatra her dues, as well Omar Mohammed, the man behind Mosul Eye, about the dangers of recording history under Isis.
