Mostly Unsung
#8 A Man With Questionable Taste & An Artist Fighting For Freedom
Happy Unsung Friday everyone! We're back for another episode of the podcast that brings you two bitesize biographies every single week! Join old friends Annie and Andrea as they try their best to stay on topic while also working out if Bambi or Watership Down is more traumatic for children.
This week join Annie as she dips into to American History to learn how to count deer, upset your 'dead' wife and cause mayhem by turning up to your own funeral.
Next Andrea will accidentally start the podcast's first on-air argument by asking Annie to look at an urinal and admit that it's an important work of art; and take us to the occupied Netherlands of WWII where an openly gay man decided it was time to take matters into his own hands.
