Nailed it! Otto English on Churchill, Brexit, Che Guevara and John Wayne

In this ‘Nailed It!’ episode we look back on Chris’s two conversations with author and journalist Otto English, picking out some of the most entertaining, moving, and eye-opening moments from those episodes: ‘‘Fake History’ with Otto English’ and ‘‘Fake Heroes’ an Interview with Author Otto English’. 

Topics:

-        What did Winston Churchill actually say?

-        How the propagation of ‘the good old days’ philosophy caused Brexit.

-        Would Che Guevara’s image be so iconic if he weren’t so “damned good-looking?”

-        Otto’s childhood hero John Wayne and how he let him down. 

-        Chris's story about the Beatles, Dick James, and Robin Hood.
