Why ARE Geordies called Geordies? You might think you know, but maybe it's not quite that...

A fascinating episode of Tyne Travel this one, as Raul Kohli and Mike Milligan (stand up comedians and history enthusiasts) interview the author Jane Gulliford Lowes about, among other things, her book Above Us, The Stars.

They discover that there is a very good chance that they each may well have had relatives who served together in WW2!

It's one of the best podcasts we've ever produced this, you really should consider Jane's book:

Over 55,000 young Bomber Command airmen made the ultimate sacrifice; thousands more of their comrades survived one of the bloodiest and most controversial campaigns of the Second World War, but never spoke about their experiences after the end of hostilities.

Above Us The Stars tells the story of one of those men, 20-year-old wireless operator Jack Clyde. Through contemporary documents, Jack’s own notes, Squadron records, family testimony, interviews with Bomber Command veterans and German civilians, the author pieces together not only the story of Jack and his 10 Squadron Halifax crew, but also that of the family he left behind in the Durham mining town of Seaham Harbour.

You can get it in Waterstones or from Amazon but she'll also sign you a copy if you go via her website: https://www.justcuriousjane.com/above-us-the-stars/
