  • Constantinople 1453 (REPRISE)

    Tracy continues to look back at her very first season and presents to you, her listeners and co-learners, another 'reprisal' of one of her very first episodes.

    Tracy 'revisits' Constantinople: a city known today as Istanbul. Constantinople was once the seat of power for three empires spanning a timeline of more than two millennium. Also spanning two continents, this city was a gateway, a crossroads between West and East which had always been 'open for business' but in 1453, it suddenly became 'closed until further notice.'

    Tracy encourages you to 'join the dots' and 'make connections' as she shares her perspective on why Constantinople was a 'catalyst' not only for European change but also for a new world order.
