Join us for the forgotten tale of Walter Raleigh's El Dorado obsession. This week's episode details the famous courtier's entire life. His failure to graduate from Oxford University, his numerous war crimes in Ireland and his decade as the unofficial royal toyboy. This is just the background to Raleigh's two El Dorado expeditions in Venezuela. While the first is an embarrassing failure, the second will lead to his execution. During these journeys, we take a few stops to read Raleigh's poetry, detail the historical origin of El Dorado, and make it clear that Walter Raleigh is uniquely responsible for locking El Dorado into the collective unconscious.
