Description

On today’s episode, we speak with British historian Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads and The Earth Transformed: An Untold History. His discussion with Good Weekend deputy editor Greg Callaghan covers the way mankind has reacted to ecological shocks, our industrial enslavement of animals, the threat of new pandemics - and how, in the face of all this, he remains an optimist at heart.
