The next best thing to experiencing something yourself is to hear people talk about their interests, sharing their experiences and stories. And the best stories are those that come from passion - striving to overcome obstacles on your way to succeeding in your chosen field, funny anecdotes, hardships endured. "Release The Geek" is our weekly forum to chat to people who are geeky about something - they could be successful, semi-so, or on their way to achieving a level of it but they've all got one thing in common - passion. Can't replicate it. And we want to share their experiences, their hurdles, their stories with the greater geek populace (or anyone who would care to).

RTG Presents: Urbane Myths Episode 10 - A Forgotten Genocide
Full disclosure upfront. This is going to be a heavy episode. That said, let's begin.
What would it take to forget a genocide? In 1904, Germany - under the miasma of Lebensraum, Racism, Imperialism and Colonialism - declared war on the native Herero people of German South West Africa. When the shooting stopped, 65000 lives had been swept away and the first death camps came into being. In the years to follow, so was the history of that time. In this podcast, we explore the events that lead to it, why it happened, how it was forgotten and how Namibia and Germany are coming to terms with this forgotten atrocity.
