👋🏽 @EmpirePodUK you know you’re my favourite podcast, right? 😊

Just finished reading @Withburga wonderful book ⤵️ and it is clear to me that a series on Andalusia and its many empires would be the most amazing story to share

I can hear @tweeter_anita @DalrympleWill bring this story to their audience, connects with Ottomans series and fills some gaps in between.

Phoenicians-Romans-Visigoths-Jews-Muslims-Christians…

Periods of co-existence

@Withburga writing is so atmospheric- conveying the history but also the people, sounds, architecture, colour, connecting East & West.

The telling of this story is sooooo @EmpirePodUK
