About this listen
What if the people who shaped history were defined not by their victories, but by their betrayals?
In “Betrayed, Unbroken”, the band Beat Nomads tells the real stories behind the songs on their album of the same name - ten lives torn apart by betrayal, and what it cost them to stand unbroken.
This season includes:
- The Fiddler Who Defied Death – James Macpherson, the Scottish outlaw who met the gallows playing his own death song.
- The Man Who Was Undefeated – Yet Defeated – Hannibal Barca, who humbled Rome on the battlefield and was abandoned by his own state.
- The Queen Who Was Guilty of Nothing – Mary, Queen of Scots, trapped in a web of dynasties, religion, and treachery.
- The Liberator Who Ended Liberty – Julius Caesar, assassinated in the name of a Republic he helped destroy.
- The Chief Who Wouldn’t Yield – a leader watching his people betrayed again and again.
- The Gadfly Who Questioned Everything – Socrates, condemned by the city he taught to think.
- The Prisoner Who Refused Revenge – Nelson Mandela, betrayed yet choosing reconciliation.
- The Conquering Lion Who Was Caged – Haile Selassie, emperor and exile.
- The Maid Who Saved France – Joan of Arc, whose myth hides a far messier truth.
- The Man Who Let Silence Kill Him – Thomas More, executed for what he would not say.
