Excellent episode! Love that you are doing this. You don't actually mention it, but who is the eponymous "Old Master?"

As a Peruvian and fan of the historical study of the era I am thrilled you have covered this. I wasn't really familiar with the details of this British expedition. Although I must comment that the Tupac Amaru the 2nd resistance to the Spanish is also an important precedent to the "Criollos" independent movements. Unfortunately the latter were the winners and ended up declaring Republics that discriminated and taxed the indigenous population as well as continuing with slavery of for many more years.

I had a section about the Túpac Amaru Rebellion in the first draft of this episode, but I wound up having to cut it for time. I will try to talk about it a bit next episode, but we'll see.
