💖🕊️The Two Extremes of Mitford History 💢🤛
Uncover Hitler’s alleged secret baby and get close to the violent post-WWII street fights that took down London fascists!
In this special bonus episode, BAFTA & Emmy-winner Adam Gee joins us to explore two politically opposite extremes tied to his life and work: the ultra-fascism of Unity Mitford—the subject of a Channel 4 documentary he commissioned—and the fierce anti-fascism of the post-WWII 43 Group, co-founded by Adam’s own stepfather. The interview also bridges the past with the present: What’s the relevance of standing up against extremism today? ✌️
Hit play for high-society scandal, East End brawls, and the ultimate Kray twins showdown—because British history is far stranger (and punchier) than fiction.
