Bletchley Park

E146 - Top Secret Misinformation Part 3


Listen Later

December 2022 

Since the first two Top Secret Misinformation podcasts in 2020 & 2021, our listeners have been asking us to record another one. Maybe it’s because the secrecy surrounding Bletchley Park is the perfect breeding ground for all sorts of myths and misunderstandings. Or maybe it’s because it lets our Historians off the leash to set the record straight once and for all.

We asked our listeners, via social media, what history mysteries they wanted solved by our resident representatives of research and rigour, Dr David Kenyon and Dr Thomas Cheetham. In this episode they are joined by Exhibitions Manager Erica Munro and podcast producer Mark Cotton, to try and get to the bottom of some of Bletchley Park’s most puzzling conundrums.

Many thanks to Dr Ben Thomson for voicing our archival documents.

Featuring the following contributors from our Oral History Archive:

Betty Webb
Shaun Wylie
Mavis Batey
Peggy Huntingdon
Joan Joslin

Producers Note:
Many thanks to our listeners and followers for setting us these challenges. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
