Political history fans might find this worthwhile. Archbishop Mannix had a big influence over the Irish Catholic Labor vote in Victoria in the early part of the 20th century.

She never stops laughing, what a character. Worth listening just to hear her describe her schooldays.

I admit to being wrong here. I previously had a strong dislike of Jane Caro, not because of her feminism but because she is such a strident critic of everything non-left.
But I didn't realise she was an author and in particular of a book on Elizabeth I, who is something of a feminist icon herself. And not only an author but a beautifully sensitive reciter of Elizabethan poetry.
Now I'm an admirer.

The last half hour here is a rebroadcast of an old doco on the closing weeks of WW2 from a German perspective. Eyewitness interviews & archival German broadcasts make for interesting listening.

The little known war along Australia's coast in 1942-43. The way torpedoed seamen were treated is unbelievable.

She's very easy to listen to as a presenter I think and gets some interesting guests. You should try Philip Adams' Late Night Live too. RN is very poorly funded but they still manage to do a good job.
