The Lost Cultures: Living Legacies podcast highlights Bermuda's historical significance beyond its small size. Alisha Prakash engages with experts like Dr. Edward Harris, who explains how Bermuda evolved from an uninhabited island into a cultural crossroads. Enslaved Africans, brought to the island shortly after British colonization, played a vital role in shaping Bermuda's culture and economy. The podcast aims to unearth diverse narratives, encouraging travelers to explore the rich legacy of Bermuda, its complexities, and the contributions of its people throughout history.
"It was one of those rare islands that was not settled until 500 odd years ago," Dr. Harris says. "That is to say, 100,000 years after we left Africa as a human species, it took until 500 years ago for Bermuda and other places to be settled by people. So, its geography has been very important to the development of its culture."},{
