"It's never lupus."

Take a turn with us through some of the kookier parts of the Second World War (dropping unmeltable ice into Winston Churchill's bath; how French fashion defeated the Nazis; the British Army's self-mythologising stage musician; etc). We also talk about the importance of art being bold, an infamous bug in Hush House, and why we're aiming for Jason Bourne over James Bond in Travelling At Night.
