The question of wars and how we remember them has always fascinated me. With WW1 we always seem to talk about the enormous, tragic loss of life - captured so beautifully by the likes of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon.

Lucy Noakes came on the podcast to discuss how our collective memory of WW2 and Churchill has changed through films, political campaigns, historians and present day agendas. We also chatted about what exactly we could learn from the 1940s, and how to apply those lessons to the challenges of today's world. _x000D
