In this episode of our podcast, DLS co-host Florian Duijsens tells us about journalist, writer, and witness to history Dorothy Thompson. As a foreign correspondent in Germany, she was among the first to caution against the growing tides of fascism, warning urgently against the Nazis and Hitler. Unfortunately, the world didn't listen. Dorothy continued to speak out throughout her life, and during her career peak, was read and heard on the radio by millions. Her personal life at times also made the news — she was married to Pulitzer Prize-winning author and alcoholic Sinclair ‘Hal' Lewis but was also less openly involved with German-Hungarian novelist, playwright and sculptor Christa Winsloe, the author of the notorious girl's boarding school lesbian story which became Mädchen in Uniform, an even more notorious film starring Dead Lady Romy Schneider. Katy Derbyshire, our other DLS co-founder joins host/producer Susan Stone to introduce the story.

Emma Jane Kirby has worked as a Foreign Correspondent for the BBC, written documentaries, audio drama, a novel, and so much more. The main reason for their interview is the recent audio series A Most Audacious Heist, that looks in to real life theft of the Sisi Star, which looks into the lives of Empress Sisi herself, and the likable rogue Daniel Blanchard, who sole the star in a way that gives Ethan Hunt from the Mission Impossible films a run for their money. Or did he? The conversation looks at how EJ's history as a foreign correspondent for the BBC has inspired her writing these great stories based on true stories. They also discuss the audio series The Butterfly King, which is about a former European king, who died after meeting Adolf Hitler, and after denying Hitler's request to hand over Jews that were being protected in their country. They also discuss EJ's novel, The Optician of Lampedusa, based on the true story of an optician who whilst vacationing on the Meditteranean Sea, saved a few hundred people trying to escape oppression in their own country, who were floating after their boat sank. Also mentioned during the show is the superb work that production company Blanchard House, under the creative directorship of previous show guest Rosie Pye. We also discuss EJ's history as a former writer for the iconic British radio drama The Archers, which up to now has been around for 74 years, and is still going strong. https://www.blanchard-house.com/ https://linktr.ee/podslikeus/
