This week in our 3rd episode, we see what happens when you mix some European royal politics, some Protestant passion and over $400 million in funding for a worldwide trading megacorporation together in a small lil Low Land country. From the earliest days of the Dutch Republic we track the rise of the centuries' infamous Dutch East Indies Company from being 12 different companies with unreadable names to destabilizing local political in their trading ships' wake. And finally, FINALLY, we start to get some outside interactions with people landing on the (at the time) not known continent of Australia. How did this all happen you ask? Listen here to this episode and you will learn how a one man's voyage would change the world and not a single person on the trip knew it at all.

Come with Q and Paul as they dive in and talk about nutmeg, dutch proclamations and how the Dutch might have not had the best rescue operations for the time
