Ladies Who London

Ep 25 - Bloomsbury - Virginia Woolf, literature's tortured soul


Listen Later

Welcome back, podcats! This week is the turn of Emily, and she is taking us over to Bloomsbury to take a look at the story of one of literature's most influential writers, Virginia Woolf. We find out why she was such an amazing writer, how she got an education when girls were routinely overlooked for learning, and her friendships and love affairs. TRIGGER WARNING - we do talk about her death where she took her own life.

Plus we find out who won the Podcast Pedestal and Emily gets her sweaty hands on the wheel again for another chance to see where we will get to chat about next week.

Our lovely jingle writer Ben Morales Frost has a new musical on - the Sorcerer's Apprentice. It can be found at https://www.stream.theatre/season/25
