In a special extended edition of the podcast, Connie, Steve and Chris are joined by the editor-in-chief of the world’s longest-running women’s weekly magazine to mark the 80th anniversary of the start of World War II. It’s a complex subject – WWII is the deadliest military conflict in history – but it spurred the emancipation of women, exemplified the Pass It On spirit of improvisation and thrift, and generated a strong community spirit. Join the team as we pick out tips and more from The Sunday Post and The People’s Friend to get inside the heads of people living 80 years ago.
