#19 A Grandmother Who Went For A Walk & An Espionage Agent
It's time for more bite size historical biographies with the usual dash of nonsense and laughter!
This week Andrea is heading out to the forests and rolling hills of one of America's most beautiful hiking trails, the Appalachian Trail. Don't we all look forward to retirement and the opportunity to spend eight hour days clearing brush and bramble thickets? An inspiring story for those looking forward to their third age.
Then Annie is delving into the untold stories of World War II, where a hard working woman is trying to both escape the bloodshed and help the Allied soldiers and their families, with sabotage, reconnaissance and answers about missing loved ones.
