Our society member, Stuart Hobday, has been an invited guest on History Extra Podcast to talk about Harriet Martineau. Or, as this is introduced on History Extra: Welcome to our ‘Life of the week’ podcast series, ‘ (…) where leading historians delve into the lives of some of history’s most intriguing and significant figures – from ancient Egyptian pharaohs and medieval warriors, to daring 20th-century spies.’ And Harriet Martineau.
You can listen to this 40-minute edition of the ‘Life of the Week’ podcast series from History Extra here on Spotify. Alternatively, you can visit the History Extra website.
Stuart Hobday tells Matt Elton about a figure who played a key role in shaping the modern world – and wasn’t afraid to ruffle some feathers along the way.
