In this episode of the Explaining History Podcast, we're joined by writer Susan Barrett to discuss her new novel, *All Cats Are Grey*—a dark and compelling work of historical fiction set against the backdrop of the London Blitz.The book tells the story of four very different people, each of whom has committed what might be called a "necessary murder" in their past. They come together during the chaos of the blackout to use their lethal skills against a serial rapist and murderer who is exploiting the wartime disruption to terrorise the bomb-scarred streets of London. This villain is inspired by a real figure: Gordon Cummings, an infamous but largely forgotten serial killer of the Blitz era.But our conversation ranges far beyond the plot. Susan, whose background is in film and television research, shares fascinating insights into how historical research has changed—and what we lose in the age of the internet. She discusses the serendipity of physical archives, the power of handwritten ledgers and Victorian photographs, and the surprising voices uncovered by the Mass Observation project that challenge our assumptions about "respectable" wartime behaviour.We also delve into the mythology of the Blitz itself. How does the reality of crime, class division, and social disruption sit alongside the cherished national story of plucky unity? What did people actually think and do when the bombs were falling? And why does Britain have such a peculiar fascination with poisoners and serial killers?From the tragic case of Timothy Evans and Reginald Christie to the Jack the Ripper industry, from the origins of the welfare state to the echoes of COVID—this is a wide-ranging conversation about history, memory, and the stories we tell ourselves.*All Cats Are Grey* is published on 24th April by Bathwick Hill Press, a small independent publisher. Please consider supporting independent bookshops and publishers.**Topics covered:**- The changing nature of historical research in the internet age- The Gordon Cummings case and wartime crime- Mass Observation and authentic voices from the past- The mythology of the Blitz versus historical reality- Britain's fascination with serial killers and poisoners- How COVID helps us understand wartime disruption- The importance of independent publishing---*If you enjoy the podcast, please consider supporting us on Patreon for ad-free listening and exclusive content.*Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! VISIT TheBuckeyeCast.com https://thebuckeyecast.com/ Ohio State is reloading at cornerback in 2026 — but are the Buckeyes rebuilding or ready to dominate? With Davison Igbinosun and Lorenzo Styles Jr. off to the NFL, this secondary is turning the page. Jermaine Mathews and Devin Sanchez now step into full-time starring roles, while transfer additions like Earl Little Jr., Dominick Kelly (Georgia), and Cameron Calhoun (Alabama) bring experience into a reshaped cornerback room. In this Roster Reset breakdown, we cover:
Ohio State is officially in survive-and-advance mode.On this episode of The Ohio State Buckeyes Daily Blitz, Jeff “Tito” Thitoff breaks down:
Coaching Staff Set: Titles, Roles, Continuity The Detroit Lions locked in their coaching staff on Monday, and the announcement landed with steadiness, not shock. Dan Campbell remains at the top. Drew Pessing is confirmed as offensive coordinator. Scotty Montgomery holds the associate head coach title. Safeties coach Jim O'Neil adds the assistant head coach role. Continuity is the headline. Caleb Collins is listed as a defensive assistant. Fraley is back as a running coordinator. Bruce Gradkowski, a former NFL quarterback, moves into the assistant wide receivers coach spot after a year as an offensive assistant. The Lions like his trajectory. Other teams do too. That momentum matters. One familiar name returns in a fresh lane. Dan Skipper is now an offensive assistant. The role is nonspecific by design. Expect Skipper to live in the film room, move between position groups, and serve as a trusted bridge between players and coaches. He just retired. He knows the locker room. That can pay off on long practice weeks. Defense: Why They're Running It Back The defensive staff remains intact aside from O'Neil's added title. That decision stirred reaction after uneven results. The context matters. Before the bye, with a healthy secondary, Detroit ranked as a top-eight defense in scoring and yards per game. The plan worked when the pieces were available. Then injuries hit. Results slid. Late in the year, Kelvin Sheppard mixed things up. Fronts changed. Coverage rules shifted. Blitz patterns evolved. The staff adjusted to the talent on hand and found gains in the final two games. That flexibility is part of why they are running it back. The defensive line is the pressure point. Kacy Rogers returns after a difficult first season. There were late signs of progress. Work with Tyleik Williams and Roy Lopez began to show. More technique wins. Better finish on plays. Year two needs to convert flashes into production. New and Notable: Passing Game and Specialist Roles David Shaw stays on as passing game specialist after previously serving as passing game coordinator. He arrived with John Morton, who is back in Denver at his old job. The shift from coordinator to specialist narrows his scope and clarifies lanes around the passing game build. Indianapolis Notes and Draft Buzz The Detroit Lions Podcast checked in from Indianapolis on a frigid morning with early draft rumors floating in the air. Most of the NFL arrives today. Brad and Dan are scheduled to speak this afternoon, with Pessing also set to meet with the media on Tuesday. Those sessions will shape how the finalized staff plans to deploy scheme tweaks, personnel development, and the next wave of additions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v7HazlUBgM #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #detroitlionscoachingstaff #indianapolisdraftbuzz #2026nfldraft #lionscoaches #kelvinsheppard Learn more about your ad choices.

Spring visits are fast approaching and some of Nebraska's top targets have already lined up plans to be in Lincoln next month. In this week's episode of Recruiting Blitz, Inside Nebraska's Tim Verghese discusses ten recruits Nebraska MUST get on campus that have yet to line up visit plans. On the offensive side of the ball, the Huskers are battling Indiana and Penn State for one of the nation's top running backs. The Huskers find themselves battling Penn State for a top wide reciever target as well, who happens to play with Trae Taylor on the 7-on-7 circuit. At tight end, Penn State is surging for a target who's visited Nebraska more than any other program. Along the offensive line, the Huskers could soon host multiple five-stars and are well-positioned for a versatile four-star out of Georgia. Defensively, a top EDGE target has lined up a few national visits, will Nebraska get one? At defensive tackle, Nebraska hopes to impress a fast-rising 300 pounder. At linebacker, a top regional target has drawn attention from top national programs like Alabama, Ohio State, Oregon and Georgia. Can the Huskers maintain their position? At defensive back, the Huskers are working to stay in the running for one of California's top cornerbacks and could get over the top with the No. 7 safety in the country in the coming weeks.
