    S1E1 - Featherston Military Camp with Neil Frances

    In this first episode I'm joined by historian and author Neil Frances to talk about the history of Featherston Military Camp, in the Wairarapa region of New Zealand. Originally built as a training camp in World War One, it became a prisoner of war camp in World War Two and the site of the infamous 'Featherston Incident'.
