In this episode I explore the unusual first two thousand years of Algiers's history and begin to answer the question, how did a fairly small provincial city end up becoming the most important city in the region? How did it give its name to Algeria?

Thanks so much to Nesrine Kheddar @nesartistic on instagram for her contribution!

Any historians who have issue with my quick explanation of 1500 years of history, or Arabic speakers who have issue with my pronunciation- or just super fans who want to email or contact, my instagram is @algeria_searching_for and my email is [email protected]
