BONUS EPISODE - The Satirists with Alice Loxton Willy Willy Harry Stee...

    • Geschichte

In this special bonus episode, Charlie Higson continues his romp through the Georgian period with a focus on the Satirists.
Let's face it, there was a lot going on. The Napoleonic Wars, Royal Madness, Political Intrigue. All juicy content with fine comedic potential if you're a brilliant young artist with a sense of humour, someone like James Gillray.
Far from being worried by scathing political cartoons, the leaders of the day sobbed if they weren't caricatured. It truly was the forerunner to Spitting Image.
Helping Charlie sketch a picture of the times is Alice Loxton, social media sensation and author of Uproar! Satire, Scandal and Printmaking in Georgian London
