Our studio guest this week is the wonderful Sarah Wise (author of The Italian Boy: Murder and Grave Robbery in 1830s London, The Blackest Streets: Life and Death of a Victorian Slum, and Inconvenient People: Lunacy, Liberty and the Mad Doctors in Victorian England) and we also have interviews with the marvellous Clare Mulley (The Spy Who Loved: The Secrets and Lives of Christine Granville, Britain’s First Special Agent of World War 2) and the fantastic Louise Foxcroft (Calories and Corsets: A History of Dieting over the past 2000 years). Yes, they like their long titles but they’re all brilliant. Listen, learn and hear how Sarah inspired a Pet Shop Boys song.
