  • ‘Brown Babies’ is a must-listen

    Wow! This episode had me in tears: moving, uplifting, human. A reminder of how far we’ve come as a society. The case studies are so warm and engaging, you feel like you know them closely by the end. David perfectly creates space for them to tell their stories, too. Feels like a fresh and modern way to tell a lesser-known historical story. Keep it up National Trust 🙏
