And you get so much more than just ad-free listening and all the miniseries in one go.

So, you know, go there, join up, join the club.

So the name Simon Bolivar, I mean, a lot of people may have come across this name

But the man in South America, his legacy is enormous.

There are streets, there are plazas named after Bolivar across the continent.

Bolivia is named in his honour.

But more surprisingly, because I sort of looked it up, there are statues of Bolivar in Paris, near the Seine, a stone's throw from the Eiffel Tower.

So it's a really prime position.

Whole towns in, wait for it, the United States are named after Bolivar.

Not just Missouri, there's Tennessee, there's Ohio, there's Pennsylvania, London, Washington, D.C.

and New York Central Park each host their own sort of rather impressive Bolivar statue.

It's a very smart one in Belgrave Square in London.

And he's sort of standing there with his arm up in the air, sort of, you know, making this triumphal speech.

Well, some may say, but it's more complicated than that, as usual.

Can I just give you a few other places where Bolivar is celebrated in India?

Tehran has a Simon Bolivar Boulevard.

So, you know, sort of legendary status.

And he has a massive statue in the UN Plaza as well on a charger rearing up.

You know, so this is an image that you will possibly have walked past in

in your life in disparate parts of the world without maybe knowing why.
