The Conquest of New Spain is one of the most dramatic clashes of cultures in all of human history. It’s also one of the most tragic.
At the center of the story stands Tenochtitlan — the most powerful empire in the Americas, a complex civilization built on centuries of war, diplomacy, and faith. In 1519, a small force of Spanish soldiers arrived on its shores and changed everything.
Mexica: A History Podcast is a nine-episode audio narrative that pulls listeners into the full sensory world of the conquest — the sounds of Tenochtitlan’s crowded markets, the heat of the Yucatan jungle and the chaos of battles.
Deeply sourced and carefully told, it brings to life the Mexica, the Tlaxcalans, the Spanish, and the dozens of other peoples caught between worlds colliding.
