The Magician Who Missed the Boat

WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk · Feb 26, 2026 · 26m

As a part of our continuing effort to commemorate the incredible global story of WW2, we present our ongoing ‘Family Stories’ series.

This series tells YOUR relatives’ stories of derring do - both on the front line and home front.

In this episode we hear your tales of magical near misses, rivers of burning whisky, and the family history buried in a charity book shop.

With thanks to Michael Hoelscher, Andy Dyer, Meredith Bubner, Myles Mcalone, Mike Mahalo, Clive Fennessy, Charlotte Bird, and David Pierce.
