WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk

About
As a part of our continuing effort to commemorate the incredible global story of WW2, we present our ongoing ‘Family Stories’ series.



This series tells YOUR relatives’ stories of derring do - both on the front line and home front.



In this episode we hear your tales of magical near misses, rivers of burning whisky, and the family history buried in a charity book shop.



With thanks to Michael Hoelscher, Andy Dyer, Meredith Bubner, Myles Mcalone, Mike Mahalo, Clive Fennessy, Charlotte Bird, and David Pierce.
