#10 A Criminal Mastermind & A Snappy Dresser

What's Friday without a good laugh before the start of the weekend? Welcome to Mostly Unsung a comedy history podcast packed full of interesting stories and a lot of big questions, such as, who is the Greg and who is the Alex in this relationship? and do we both exist? 

Come journey with Annie to old London Town where one man has a very cunning plan or three, to make himself a lot of money and hob nob with the government, all while keeping his side hustles quiet.

Then Andrea will err.....STAY in Old London Town but a few hundred years later, where an orphan is making a name for himself, both for his charity works and his very eye catching outfit. An outfit still seen in London today.
