In this episode of The Atlas Obscura Podcast, we visit the Caribbean island of Dominica to hear the story of Jacko, a formerly enslaved man who became a national hero for his ingenious escape and emancipation efforts.

Our podcast is an audio guide to the world’s wondrous, awe-inspiring, strange places. In under 15 minutes, we’ll take you to an incredible site, and along the way you’ll meet some fascinating people and hear their stories. Join us daily, Monday through Thursday, to explore a new wonder with cofounder Dylan Thuras and a neighborhood of Atlas Obscura reporters.
