Description
This week we cover episodes 1-3 of the sassiest of war shows, SAS Rogue Heroes. And we have a guest! George joins us to talk about all things SAS. Thank you, George!
In this episode, Sam and Maartje are joined by literary friend Phoebe to talk about Catch-22. While there is a movie and a series, we mainly focus on Joseph Heller’s satirical novel, one of Sam’s all-time favourites. What does it all mean? Is this book impossible to adapt? Would it even be written today? We have a good chat about it.
This is part two of our Generation War episode with Anna! We get into the nitty-gritty of this show and have some honest discussions about the series’ themes. Thank you again, Anna, for making us sound smart.
In this week’s episode, SAS Correspondent George and SAS Rogue Heroes military advisor Ben Simmons are back to discuss the long-anticipated second season. Since we like to give the show the attention it deserves, this is the first part of a two-part episode covering episodes 1-3 of SAS Rogue Heroes season 2. Check back next week for episodes 4-6.
In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we’re joined by award-winning historian Clare Mulley, author of The Spy Who Loved…, The Women Who Flew for Hitler, and Agent Zo. We talk about Polish paratrooper Elżbieta Zawacka (Zo), Nazi-resisting test pilot Melitta von Stauffenberg, and the razor-sharp Christine Granville. Clare shares how she builds trust with her readers, balances storytelling with historical rigour, and restores women to their rightful place in the WWII record. And, this episodes is full of stories about the heroic women Clare writes about. You’ll want to pick up a book or two after this!
