Hello purple people it's Susie and Giles here to tell you that there's a new

podcast from Wondery and Goldhanger that's just launched and we think you'll

like it it's called Legacy. Everybody leaves a Legacy for some it lives on

for decades for centuries but it also changes

reputations are re-examined by new generations who may not like what they find

judgments are revised statues start to fall. Should Nina Simone's role in the civil rights movement be more celebrated than it is?

When you find out what Picasso got up to in his studio, can you still admire his art?

And was Napoleon a hero or a tyrant? And while we're at it was he even short.

Hosted by writer, a Fuhan Hush, an historian Peter Francopan, legacy is the show that looks at

big lives from the perspective of now and

doesn't always like what it sees. We're about to play you a clip from season one

which examines the life of Napoleon. If you like what you hear, search and follow

legacy wherever you listen to podcasts.

Napoleon, famous guy, big name, huge in France, all over the world.

What do you think when you hear about the name Napoleon?

I used to be a lawyer and when I think of Napoleon I think of Napoleonic code

when countries became independent from Europe they often adopted the Napoleonic codes.

Right, well you said you would be a lawyer, you thought maybe you'd sue him.

But it's about the legacy of Napoleon as a lawmaker and administrator.

No bad law or Waterloo?

Nope, for me he was this slightly vague figure with his arm tucked into his jacket and weird jokes

about his height and the size of various other body parts that I never really understood their origin.
