Episode description
This year, we remember the 500th anniversary of the "discovery" of the Philippines... see any problems with that statement? In this episode, we analyze and read excerpts from Antonio Pigafetta's First Voyage Around the World by Magellan and simultaneously critique how we tend to view the "first" contact between Europe and what would become the Philippines half a millennia ago.
