Diana Souhami on Edith Cavell

Whitbread award-winning writer Diana Souhami talked to me about her latest book on Edith Cavell for a podcast that you can listen to here.


Edith Cavell got around. The French singer Edith Piaf was named after her, as was a car park in Peterborough, a bridge over the Shotover River near Queenstown and a feature on the planet Venus. I wonder if anyone has ever confused Edith Cavell with Mata Hari? Hmm. Probably not.

Great recording! Two generations of intellectuals discussing cultural history.

Hmmm, I wonder if there's anyone you could interview about Mata Hair?
