| The Many Empires of Mt Everest | 10 Dec 2025 | 00:48:46 | |
Everest has always stood at the crossroads of myth, power and ambition. In this episode, author and climber Ed Douglas unpacks the forgotten colonial history of Everest, from military invasions and mystical misconceptions to the birth of the expedition industry as a tool of Empire. We dive into how the mountain was claimed, named, mapped, monetised, and how these power dynamics still echo today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
