Very interesting and thorough podcast - thank you! A couple of small points - I think you could have made more of the way(s) tea plants were taken from China to India as that is still a sore point for some.

Also the creation of the very first legislation on the basis of skin colour in Barbados (1610?) as a way to divide/separate white indentured labourers from black slaves. I'm guessing that was to do with sugar, but I don't know.
