William Dalrymple, the author of numerous books about India, including "The Anararchy: The East India Company, Corporate Violence, and the Pillage of an Empire," is starting a new podcast called "Empire."
Anita Anand, author of the Patient Assassin, will cohost the podcast with Dalrymple.
You can listen to a trailer and the first episode on Apple Podcasts and on Spotify.
Dalrymple says the first season will focus on India. "This week," he notes, " is the 75th anniversary of Indian Independence, so the first season is about British imperialism in India 1600-1947."
After that, he says, "we'll branch out: Cholas, Khmers, Ottomans, Tang China."
Dalrymple has written two other great books about India, White Mughal: The Fall of A Dynasty, 1857, and the Last Mughal: Love and Betrayal in Eighteenth-Century India.
