Capturing Legacy and Historical Storytelling

This panel brings together Afua Hirsch and Peter Frankopan, co-hosts of the acclaimed Legacy podcast, to explore how storytelling shapes our understanding of history and inheritance. Through their work, they examine how the past continues to influence identity, culture, and global narratives — and how we can retell history through more inclusive, authentic, and human lenses. The conversation delves into the art of historical storytelling — how to capture legacy not as static memory, but as a living dialogue between generations, places, and perspectives.
