Big up my favourite couple
Apple Podcasts5Gorilla Fan #247United Kingdom2 months ago - Very engaging
I find this a fascinating insight into a period of politics that doesn’t get much discussed and yet set the foundations for modern Britain. The presentation style is very engaging and natural and the depth of knowledge impressive.
Apple Podcasts5Nobbie RobUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Milk Snatcher fan
Terrific, very thoughtful podcast bringing out often unremarked (or under remarked) people and events which really flesh out our understanding of post war politics. I have followed politics since the 70’s and Anne Kerr and some other subjects were totally new to me but clearly core to what was really going on in those years. The items of interest and books parts are perfectly complimentary are ideal additions. One of my few “auto download” podcasts amidst dozens I listen to!
