About this listen

Prepare to gallop into history with one of the most fearsome names ever etched into the sands of time. In this episode of 5 Minute Biographies, we launch Season 20 by charging straight into the story of Genghis Khan — the Mongol warlord who rose from humble beginnings to become the architect of the largest contiguous empire the world has ever seen. Ruthless, strategic, and astonishingly influential, his legacy still echoes through centuries. Tune in for a brisk yet powerful look at the life of the man who turned tribes into an empire — in just five minutes.
