Listen "Miracle at Myeongnyang"
Episode Synopsis
Today, we head to the cold, churning waters off Korea in October 1597, where one man and thirteen battered ships faced the impossible. Admiral Yi Sun-sin, disgraced, beaten, and nearly forgotten by his own government, stood against a Japanese invasion force more than twenty times his size. The Battle of Myeongnyang was not supposed to be a victory. It was supposed to be the end. Instead, it became one of the most astonishing triumphs in naval history, a masterclass in courage, discipline, and tactical genius. We’ll look at the man behind the legend, the sea that became his ally, and the battle that saved a nation. This is The Miracle at Myeongnyang: Admiral Yi Sun-sin’s Last Stand.
