Mostly Unsung
The podcast that brings you stories of extraordinary, eccentric, outrageous and occasionally ordinary lives that until now have gone mostly unsung...mostly.
Mostly Unsung
#1 A Russian Exile & An English Woman in America
Join us for a new weekly podcast that brings you the interesting and lesser known figures from history! Do you enjoy lots of well researched facts, dates and lists of dusty accomplishments? Then this probably isn't the podcast for you.
In this episode, Andrea uses her D in A level History to tell us how world events affected one woman who was both blessed and cursed with a famous surname, and Annie tells us about her affinity to grumpy animals and the exciting story of a disabled woman who stepped out of her comfort zone and pioneered travel writing.
