SIM Ep 555 Chops 228: Lynsey Hanley has class

Been listening to A Home Of Our Own, the Radio 4 series that started this week? You should be. In it, journalist and author Lynsey Hanley explores Britain's broken housing market through the stories of 10 different homes, from all over the UK, and their occupants. Lynsey's the author of two books, Estates: An Intimate History, and Respectable: Crossing the Class Divide, so Hannah got on the Zoom with her to talk about the vanishing dream of getting a foot on the property ladder for many, if not most, under 40s in this country.
