Welcome to Mostly Unsung! A new podcast that tells you all about interesting people they don't bother to tell you about in school!
Be prepared to have your bodice ripped as this week Annie goes to France and deals with nuns, duels and a dash of Opera infamy. Once you've re-laced your corset, Andrea will be taking us to Belgium to hear all about a man that was every mother's nightmare and we can blame for a heck of a lot of tedious jazz solos.
