This week author and broadcaster Martin Bright joins Andrew and Phil to discuss what he believe is a little known but massive wartime cover up. As a new official report is due on the extent of Nazi crimes in the occupied Channel Islands during WW2, Martin believes that the suffering of Jewish and other prisoners on the islands has been hidden for many decades - partly because of official embarrassment at the amount of collaboration there.
In his book END OF THE BEGINNING Phil has written about another aspect of this story - the deportation of Jews from these British islands to Nazi death camps.

The human dynamo that is Anne de Courcy returns to the podcast by popular demand after her brilliant interview about Princess Margaret and Tony Snowdon. This week she is speaking about one of her most successful books ‘The Viceroy’s Daughters’, the saga of Lord Curzon and his three talented, beautiful but often wayward daughters at the pinnacle of British and imperial high society in the first half of the 20th Century.
Overlapping love affairs, dalliances with dangerous young men and campaigning alongside the most charismatic politician of the age, Oswald Mosley, the former socialist turned fascist leader of Britain’s ‘Black Shirts’ in the 1930s - this is a story with everything and an incredible window into a glittering but also menacing world of privilege, power and decadence.

This week we are lucky enough to speak with one of the most celebrated political writers of our age - Peter Pomerantsev, a former TV colleague of our Phil Craig. Peter had a ring side seat in Moscow for the rise of Putin and now advises leading politicians in Europe and the USA.
Born in the Soviet Union, and now a Senior Fellow at the Institute of Global Affairs at the London School of Economics, Peter has written two hugely influential books about the modern Russian state and how it exploits disinformation and propaganda to oppress and threaten its own people and its neighbours: Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible (2014) and This Is Not Propaganda (2019).
His latest book, How to Win an Information War: The Propagandist Who Outwitted Hitler (2024), is about Sefton Delmer, a British propagandist of the Second World War.

In this special episode Andrew and Phil speak with Shauna Kay, whose family of Australian based podcasts, The Vintage Read, has been a huge success in the last year or so. We have many friends and ideas in common, along with a shared fascination for all things literary, scandalous...and very often royal!
We don't promise to agree all the time but if our audiences find these conversations entertaining and stimulating we intend to do more of them.

Team Sussex has pulled off its first overseas tour with a super high profile visit to Nigeria, where Harry attended numerous events linked to the Invictus games and Meghan met with business and media leaders, hosted female entrepreneurs and generally looked and behaved like a Princess on the road!
Is this a model for what 'non royal royalty’ looks like for the future - a refreshing multi racial alternative to the old fashioned, and all white, House of Windsor? Or is it a cynical marketing exercise for a couple battered by a year of falling ratings amid widespread criticism for producing boring podcasts and selling second rate jam?
We’re joined once again by Simon Vigar, royal correspondent for Five News and a veteran of many royal tours. The Nigeria trip generated some great headlines and photos in the USA, so does that make it a success? Then our friend Dai Davies, former head of royal security, comes back to the pod with a very different perspective. Dai is very critical of the security background to the trip - and not at all sure that it was morally justifiable either.
