“I have really enjoyed this podcast even as I skip over topics that don’t interest me - Kate is a lovely host making even weak interviewees sparkle.
My only complaint is the interviewee for the Haití episode the interviewee was asked why slaves were losing limbs - her answer basically there wasn’t any reason. If my memory is correct Haitian riches were indeed in sugar as she rightly stated, but she completely ignored that sugar refinement was and is extremely dangerous. The injustice done is obvious, but her answer of why people were losing limbs was “just cause sadists”. - not that maybe they were forced to do dangerous refinement and probably often lost limbs in explosion or implosion of the sugar. The island was outrageously cruel, but her passion seemed to leave the content unexplained”
