This week Cathy tells Eimear the story of Francesca Cuzzoni the 18th century Opera star who had problems with "fake news" way before Trump. 

Diclaimer - Sound quality on Eimear's audio is awful. She didn't turn on her microphone!!  School girl error! Hopefully doesn't diminish from the story. Enjoy! *Won't happen again.
