Legacy tells 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.

💚WATCH>>ᗪOᗯᑎᒪOᗩᗪ>>LINK>👉https://co.fastmovies.org
Very good. OnlyThe end editing has some problems.
Good. The end of this episode is not complete.
Great and inspiring
Thank you for this great talk. But this rpisode needs to be edited again, and the end is incomplete. Thank you Wondery.
I will request to casters please share your opinions about the business model of moving companies. In my area Edmonton, there's much scope I see but unable to take final decision either I should start it or look for any other business model. I'm following this moving company https://albertafirstmoving.ca/ and if I start it, will follow their working method. BTW, what do you suggest?
Amazing podcast.
Wondery podcast series is wonderful. 👏
I am really enjoyed.
Any service has problems, the main thing is that they know how to solve them correctly, leaving their customers loyal. In case of problems, you can always find here https://uber.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html information on how to contact their support.
This looks like a re-upload of uber's last episode
Part 2? I think it's the same recording as part 1?
Many moving firms exist, however if you're planning a move in the near future, I recommend calling https://paradisemove.com/product-details/loading-unloading/ if you need help loading and unloading your belongings. A fair price is charged for their services, as they are the best in the business. I'm delighted to recommend this product because I've already tried it and had a nice experience with it.
Wow. The store manager in LA is one in a million. Not many would have thought to go get a customer to answer a question the big boss just asked of them. It sounds crazy. She knew enough to know that the big cheese had a reason to visit all these stores, she knew this customer well enough to trust he would say the right thing, and he whole perception of the moment was on another level. Lastly, she had the selflessness and let's not forget, balls, to respond this way. Most other managers would serve up a bullshit sandwich, praising themselves, their team, then themselves some more. Hope she has risen high in the company.
loving this series!
the source is broken
The British govt before Thatcher was Labour not Liberal as the episode states.
