In this special episode I talk to the amazing historian Roger Crowley about the great wars which tour the Mediterranean apart in the 1500s.

From the moment Barbarossa landed in the Maghreb, the fate of the Mediterranean would be altered forever. The transition of Algiers from peripheral wealthy town, to international centre of commerce is just one of many consequences- but in this episode I take a wider lens view with Roger about the context of the time that caused this transition.
