Join me as we take a look at how this came to be and at other so-called eccentrics that he had to ward off to be crowned #1! This is a public episode.

    HOWARD HUGHES - Eclectic Eccentrics (S3 E4)

    This is an interesting and difficult episode episode if I say so myself. As you will hear Howard Hughes prompts us to query what is an eccentric and at what point is eccentricity actually an illness? Hughes also provides a dark example of the power of wealth and the detriment this has on others. This is a public episode.

    EDITH SITWELL - Eclectic Eccentrics (S3 E3)

    Edith Sitwell was a poet, creative and eccentric performer. She also authored the book ‘English Eccentrics’ which, in part, is why I started this podcast so she is a very important person indeed!

    FRANCIS EGERTON - Eclectic Eccentrics (S3 E2)

    I like cats, which is great because this episode includes cats… and dogs for you canine lovers out there. Francis Egerton was a man who also liked his animals and made sure they had the best of the best… unless of course they became roguish, then there would be trouble! This is a public episode.
