PINT-SIZED HISTORY ARE ENTERING THE GAME OF THRONES


Join Joe and Zack as they set sail into the extraordinary and ruthless rule of The East India Company, the corporation that built an empire, toppled kingdoms, and changed the world forever.


We talk about Company Rule and how it shaped India’s destiny, grew Britain’s wealth, and spawned the global age of empire.


In this episode, we unpack:

  • The Birth of a Giant: How a royal charter launched a global trading juggernaut.
  • From Trade to Tyranny: How profit turned to power — and business became conquest.
  • India Under - Company Rule: How politics, plunder, and power redrew a continent.
  • Greed & Rebellion: The corruption, famines, and uprisings that shook the Raj.


🍻 Grab a pint and join us as we explore the company that blurred the line between corporation and empire, and left a legacy still felt today.
