The SCANDAL Mongers Podcast

Phil has never been a fan of King Charles - especially in the Diana era - but should he reassess in the light of the recent royal tour of the USA, and his undoubted diplomatic triumphs there?

Phil is then joined by writer and friend Antonia Senior to discuss her gripping new book - already on the best seller lists - and how it brings the story of the Cambridge Spies to life in a completely new way. Spoiler alert - she doesn’t like them one bit!

As the testimony of Prince Harry’s latest law suit against the tabloids concludes, we learn that Harry himself was sending flirty messages to journalists. Has he sunk his own case?

Phil is then joined by Prof Mark Stoyle, an expert on 16th and 17th Century Britain to talk about the world of Samuel Pepys, one of the greatest - and most honest - diarists of all time. Phil and Mark explore the filth and the frolics of Pepy’s London in an entertaining mix of social history and salacious scandal!

Mark’s fantastic history books can be found on Amazon and this is the latest...

Everyone is talking about the new Tom Bower book on Meghan and Harry - and Phil is no exception. But how much of it is real, and how much is simply ‘deranged gossip’, as one critic called it. As a former royal biographer, Phil explains how damaging personal royal stories like these come out…and why!

Then this week’s guest is Simon Dinsdale a very entertaining ex police detective who took his experience solving high profile murder cases and turned it into a new life writing crime novels. Simon talks very well about how policing has changed during his lifetime. Sometimes for good…but also sometimes for bad.

Simon Dinsdale, the author of the Christian Dane crime novels

Phil is joined this week by historian Caroline Sharples to discuss her brand new book on the facts of Hitler’s death - but also what she calls ‘the emotional history’ of an event that was hoped for by many, feared by some, and pre-planned by many people, including Hitler himself.

So just how did the world learn of this historic event - and how was it proved to the satisfaction of global opinion. Hint - it involves the tyrant’s teeth!
