01.20 - The East India Company

In this episode, we catch up with events across the Atlantic; the
colonies of Virginia, Bermuda, and Newfoundland, and how they are
faring. We also look at the ridiculously successful first decades
of the East India Company, and get a glimpse of the fantastical
levels of wealth that were on offer for investors in its voyages.
