  • 10. The Falklands War - Crossover Episode with The Aspects of History Podcast
    I'm delighted to be joined on this one by Ollie Webb-Carter, host of The Aspects of History Podcast.  In this crossover episode, we take on the hefty topic of The Falklands War. How did Britain get drawn into a war on a small set of islands 8000 miles away? How did the conflict play domestically in Britain - both in the House of Commons, the media, and the wider public? We chat about all this and much more, touching on the major milestones of the war whilst stitching our own reflections into the narrative as we go.

About Modern British Political History

This podcast is for anyone interested in modern British political history from 1945 to 2010. The focus is generally going to be more on domestic policy and I plan to either interview someone knowledgeable each episode, or use a book, documentary etc as some fodder for discussion. My personal interest in this comes from being a longstanding modern British history enthusiast, with an interest in UK domestic affairs over the recent past. My rough aim is to put out a podcast every month, but this is solely a DIY passion project, rather than something I get paid for or do professionally - so that goal's very much life and day-job permitting. Hope you enjoy the podcast! You can email the podcast with any comments and feedback at [email protected] and you can also find me on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harry-w-1b045386
