- I speak to a 100-Year-Old Veteran | VE Day Special 🇬🇧
Send a text
We did it! After weeks and months of trying to make this a reality, I was able to secure an interview with a WW2 Veteran!
In this moving VE Day special, I sit down with the incredible Bert, a 100-year-old World War II veteran to hear his incredible story of service, sacrifice, and survival. From enlisting as a young man to witnessing the end of the war in Europe, his memories offer a powerful reminder of the courage and resilience of those who served.
As we mark Victory in Europe Day, this interview is a tribute to a generation that gave so much. His reflections are not just history — they are living testimony.Support the show

In this episode, the first of a two part special, I sit down with a remarkable 90-year-old woman, Kath, to hear her firsthand memories of growing up during World War II. From the air raids to rationing, she shares what life was really like for ordinary people living through extraordinary times. Her story is one of resilience, courage, and community in the face of war.

I contemplate all that I've learnt from this podcast so far by looking back on my travels to Japan, a country that epitomises the traditional vs modern debate. I talk about mental health, and the way that modern life has affected us over the last 80 years.

Thrifting is in. The trendy, eco-conscious way of shopping on a budget, charity shops are not something to be embarrassed about anymore, but is it really that simple? Or is their growing popularity as positive as we'd like to think?

About Make Do and Mend?
From the publisher's feed
Is the modern world making us depressed? ‘Make Do and Mend?’ takes a deep-dive into the opposing lifestyles of vintage vs modern, and why more and more people are choosing to live like it’s the…
past. It will question what makes people want to escape the modern world, and which lifestyle is kinder to our planet.
I once found a genuine 1940’s oil lamp in a charity shop, and by the time I got to the check-out I was shaking so much that I couldn’t pull my card out of my purse.
My name’s Hannah, and I am a self-confessed vintage nut.
Growing up, I was raised in an environment of Saturday morning charity shop crawls, and Sunday afternoon’s watching war films with my grandpa, and so I was pretty much doomed to love all things old. Now, as an adult, I struggle to understand the appeal of a modern and minimalist lifestyle, but I am willing to risk being converted so that I can find answers to two big questions: why do people want to escape the modern world? And which lifestyle is better for our planet?
In a series of candid and unfiltered episodes, I will be throwing the lid off society’s mental health and the rising need for escapism. Will I be convinced to move with the times, and ditch the antique furniture for flat-pack, or is vintage here to stay?
