PRESENTS — Patient Zero

We are working hard at season 2 of Stuff The British Stole. It's going to drop later in the year and be stuffier and Britisher than ever. In the meantime, I'd like to introduce you to another show you might like — Patient Zero. The whole idea of this show is that it's like a true crime thriller but instead of dead women, you have disease outbreaks. And this season they've got an explosive story about a devastating outbreak in 1789 shortly after the British arrived to colonise Australia. Here's a taste from Nakari Thorpe.

Throughout its reign, the British Empire stole a lot of stuff. Today the Empire's loot sits in museums, galleries, private collections and burial sites with polite plaques. But its history is often messier than the plaques suggest. In each episode of this global smash hit podcast, Walkley award-winning journalist, author and genetic potluck, Marc Fennell, takes you on the wild, evocative, sometimes funny, often tragic adventure of how these stolen treasures got to where they live today. These objects will ultimately help us see the modern world - and ourselves - in a different light. This is a co-production between the ABC and CBC Canada.
