New episode! I am joined by Hattie from the Hattie Talks podcast to explore the barrier breaking TV show Gentleman Jack, based on the life of the diarist and lesbian Anne Lister. We discuss Anne's struggles, her triumphs and her passionate romantic relationships. We examine if Gentleman Jack is accurate in its representation of the strict gender and class roles of early 19th century Britain.

It’s an icy day but Olaf insists on doing his morning patrol of his territory….
….then he comes home and presses his very cold paws to the back of my neck while sitting on the back of the sofa…
This evening in my course seminar, my professor introduced me to Heritage Minutes, a collection of bilingual Canadian 60-second short films, each depicting a significant person, event or story in Canadian history.
The first one came out in the 90s and apparently they are a staple of Canadian culture.
I absolutely love this idea. Mini public information history films! And each one is so entertaining! That's my weekend sorted: popcorn, a glass of wine and bitesize Canadian history!

Any Canadians here remember watching these?
