Transatlantic History Ramblings

Episode 10: Christabel Pankhurst and The Mysterious Billy Smith: More Ramblings from Lauren and Brian


Listen Later

Welcome friends, we thought for this episode we would take some time to tell two stories about figures from history from two of our particular fields of interest. 

Up first is Lauren who tells us the story of Christabel Pankhurst, a leading figure in the women's suffrage movement in the UK. It's an amazing story of a figure who in some respects was overshadowed by her own sister.

Next up Brian tells us a bit of the legend of The Mysterious Billy Smith, the late 19th century Welterweight Boxing Champion, known as the dirtiest fighter in history, and who's ghost allegedly haunts the Shanghai Tunnels.

All of our episodes are listed as explicit due to some language and also, we discuss topics, such as historical crime, that may not be suitable for all audiences.
