Chile: Embers of the Past - An Interview with Joseph Doherty.

Hosted by Max Serjeant, The Latin American History Podcast is a deep and chronological journey through the entire story of Spanish and Portuguese America. This isn't a simple list of dates and battles; it's an immersive exploration of the forces that shaped a continent. The narrative stretches from ancient civilisations and first contacts through the tumultuous colonial era, right up to the modern day, weaving together the vast themes of conquest, resistance, and cultural fusion. Within this framework, the podcast dedicates serious attention to the structures of colonial society, the brutal institution of slavery, and the daily realities experienced by the region's diverse inhabitants. You'll encounter tales of extraordinary adventure and exploration that challenge belief, all grounded in thoughtful examination. Each episode builds a comprehensive picture, connecting the dots between geography, science, culture, and social change. For anyone curious about how the past echoes in the present streets, landscapes, and cultures of Latin America, this podcast offers a compelling, long-form audio history. It’s an ongoing project to understand a world forged from incredible complexity.
