  • Downfall Of The Mughals| Part 1: Akbar The Great

    Downfall Of The Mughals| Part 1: Akbar The Great
    Jan 8 2026
    In the first episode of our series, we follow the rise of Akbar, a teenage ruler who inherits a fragile empire, surrounded by enemies and nearly bankrupt. Akbar expands Mughal power through conquest, but his most consequential struggles are ideological. As religious hardliners urge him to impose stricter Islamic rule, he chooses a different path: abolishing the jizya, protecting Hindu worship, and insisting that an empire built on exclusion cannot endure. Yet tolerance carries a price. In his attempt to forge a new, universal faith, Akbar begins to alienate many of those he rules and many of those closest to him. And far beyond India’s shores, a new threat is taking shape. Across the seas, the rising power of England casts a jealous eye on the immense wealth of the Mughal world... A story of empire, belief, and tolerance. The opening chapter in our "Downfall Of The Mughals" series. ⁠⁠Help support the show on Patreon!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Sources and Attributions on our website.

  • The 1453 Siege Of Constantinople: Part 3

    The 1453 Siege Of Constantinople: Part 3
    May 6 2025
    In the final episode of our series, the ancient walls of Constantinople crumble—and with them, the last heartbeat of the Roman Empire. Sultan Mehmet II launches his all-or-nothing assault: cannon fire splits the dawn, smoke cloaks the ramparts, and waves of Ottoman soldiers pour through the shattered defenses. Amid the chaos, Emperor Constantine XI refuses to flee. Across Europe, the fall sends shockwaves—stirring panic, calls for crusade, and a growing awareness that the Eastern Roman Empire, after more than a thousand years, had finally drawn its last breath. The epic conclusion to our three-part series on the greatest siege in history. ⁠Help support the show on Patreon!⁠ ⁠Sources and Attributions on our website. ‘Heroic Opportunities’ audiofile has been purchased under the Online License from SoundCritters Learn more about your ad choices.

  • The 1453 Siege Of Constantinople: Part 2

    The 1453 Siege Of Constantinople: Part 2
    Apr 8 2025
    In this episode, we follow the desperate defense of Constantinople as Emperor Constantine XI struggles to withstand the relentless siege. Ottoman cannons hammer the walls day and night, while engineers carve tunnels beneath the city, seeking to collapse its foundations from below. The defenders cling to the fragile hope of Western aid, even as Sultan Mehmet II pushes them to their breaking point—hauling ships overland to bypass the harbor defenses and constructing towering siege engines in the dead of night to overwhelm the walls. Desperate, the Greeks fight back with every means at their disposal. Barrels of gunpowder reduce a massive Ottoman siege tower to splinters, while brutal impalements and savage retributions spread fear through both camps. Yet inside the city, political rivalries between Venice and Genoa weaken Constantine’s already fragile coalition, eroding what little unity remains. With each passing day, the city's fate grows more dire... Help support the show on Patreon! Sources and Attributions on our website. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
