What is the connection between a warrior princess, 10,000 horses and Ghengis Khan?

This is the story of Khutulun. We're not sure if it was the thrill of winning horses or the excitement of throwing men over her shoulder that got Khutulun out of bed in the morning, but one thing is for sure - she was a force to be reckoned with. Khutulun made a name for herself in the wrestling world, and men all across Mongolia trembled at the thought of facing her in the ring.

So, buckle up for another wild ride with us, and join us as we celebrate the amazing, hilarious, and awe-inspiring story of Khutulun.

Stories have to power to take us to a world of empathy and understanding. That's why we think that every story matters.

With the Who This podcast, we delve into stories of unsung people in history -people who are often left out of the history books and in our traditional historical narratives.

In this first episode, Char, Jo, Dayne and Maarten explore each other's stories and chat about why decentering history matters. Tune in!
