  • Analysing forgotten stories

    This podcast is very interesting. Forgotten crimes from the past are brought back and reanalysed by a genealogist, in Jen Baldwin, and a criminologist, in David Wilson, both experts in their respective fields.

    The lives of the working class are often forgotten to history, so I am glad Find my Past is working to bring the lives of the working class back into our front rooms.
