Fun, informal London history with two
Blue Badge Tourist Guides
Join ladies about town, Blue Badge Tourist Guides and history nerds Alex and Fiona for a relaxed gossip about London’s past and present.
This is how it works: we pick our favourite people, places and events from London’s weird and wonderful history and we break them down and look at why we are still talking about them today. Expect a lot of laughter, a bit of silliness and a spot of gentle learning. A blog post accompanies the podcast each week as well.
We were delighted to chat to the BBC Radio 4 Extra show Podcast Hour, where their hosts pick their favourite podcasts, and does one interview a week with the people behind them.
