A journey through the history of Asia, from the most famous events and fateful decisions to lesser-known conflicts, coups and catastrophes. From the rise of Xi Jinping to Vietnam’s Trotskyist movement, from the birth of modernity to forgotten resistance movements and local wars.

At least weekly, Asian Centuries speaks to leading historians, academics, journalists and activists to interrogate the past and discover what it means for the present. The pod is hosted by David Hutt, a journalist and columnist.
