Listen Later

You'll remember Christopher Columbus' glowing letter to the Spanish monarchs in 1493, bragging about his discoveries. Would it shock you to learn that his legacy and the exploits of those who came afterwards were more evil than good? No? Well, just in case, here's Bartolomeo de las Casas to convince you. This episode contains some gruesome scenes.
