Egypt to Panama... ancient Greece to the early Americas... in the eight episodes we've included from this extremely rare "living history" radio series, you'll encounter kings and thieves, battling armies, the rise and fall of kingdoms, the seven wonders of the world, stowaways, the fabled pirates of the Barbary Coast, the man whose experiences inspired the story of "Robinson Crusoe", and much more!
