Gentleman Jack Historical Nightcap - Crisis Amidst Endless Thirst & Grubbles: The Legend of Ann Walker Part I

Hey ho! So we’ve actually managed to record an episode that exceeds five hours. Good lord, welp, instead of cutting out any of our drunk and jaunty rambles, we split this #HistoricalNightcap offering into two parts. In this first half, we revisit episode 5 of Gentleman Jack “Let’s Have Another Look at Your Past Perfect” once more, but this time with the invaluable insight of show creator Sally Wainwright. Immediately afterward, in response to a few listener requests, we do a deep dive into Angela Steidele’s book ‘Gentleman Jack: A biography of Anne Lister, Regency Landowner, Seducer and Secret Diarist’, where we discuss some of her controversial assertions and surprising revelations.
