On today’s episode we discuss Seychelles, a nation composed of 115 islands not far off the East African coast. While these scarcely populated islands were only settled as late 1770, their history has since been anchored to the power struggles between France and Britain and includes a wide variety of goings on – from serving as a haven for French corsairs to serving as a haven (or, technically, prison) again, this time to exiles of the French and British Empires. Tune in to find out more!
