Pizarro, Conquistadors, and the History of Peru 🇵🇪 with Colin Post (Ep. 2)

For years, Colin Post lived and blogged from Peru and Colombia through his legendary (and politically incorrect) site Expat Chronicles. In this second appearance on the show, we go deep on Peruvian history — from the Inca Empire and Spanish conquest, through independence, the rise of modern Lima, class divides between coast/highlands/mestizos, political instability, and why Peru feels the way it does today.

Colin brings his no-BS perspective after over a decade on the ground: the cultural undercurrents, the recurring patterns of collapse and resilience, and what outsiders get wrong about the country. If you’re moving to, traveling in, or just fascinated by Peru, this is essential listening.
