Oh Harry! Plus, The Rage of Party - with George Owers | Ep.147 | The Scandal Mongers Podcast

While Phil has been on his summer break it felt like there’s been an avalanche of royal news, especially concerning the House of Sussex. The humiliation of a failed court case, a on-off-on again visit to (some) family in Britain and now rumours of a possible Australian role for the rebellious Prince Harry. What to make of it all?

Phil is then joined by the writer George Owers to discuss the birth of party politics in the 17th Century - the rumbustious age of Whig versus Tory. George’s book THE RAGE OF PARTY has been widely acclaimed as an insightful, funny and scandal-rich account of the beginning of modern politics. Expect big characters, sex, naughty poetry - and lots of bloody duels!

George’s book can be bought here in our very own bookshop...
