Michael Ridpath is a bestselling novelist, and author of Traitor's Gate, a novel based around the plot against Hitler in 1938, and Neville Chamberlain's visit to Munich. Traitor's Gate is our February fiction book of the month.

There is a new Netflix film out so we sat down to discuss the history behind it, and his writing. This is the first part; next week we discuss spying in the 1930s, Icelandic murder mysteries and financial crime.

This podcast episode is great for anyone interested in history and fiction.
