Simplified Product Title: Legacy for [Target Group]

From Wondery and Goalhanger Podcasts, Legacy is a show that tells the wild stories of some of the most extraordinary men and women ever to have lived, and questions whether they have the reputation they deserve. Hosted by Afua Hirsch and Peter Frankopan, the podcast explores a range of historical figures, asking thought-provoking questions about their legacies.

Should Nina Simone's pivotal role in the civil rights movement be more celebrated than it is? When you learn about Picasso's controversial behavior in his studio, can you still admire his art? Was Napoleon a hero, a tyrant, or a complex figure embodying both? And was he even short, as commonly believed?

Legacy examines these big lives from the perspective of the present day, not always liking what it finds. The show encourages listeners to re-evaluate the reputations of these influential individuals and consider how their actions and legacies have been perceived and remembered over time.
