    Ep 2: Unflappable
    Nov 17 2022

    The first female youth cult of modern times means a revolution in hair, shockingly short skirts and yes, more dancing.

    But what about the ‘unflappable’ women who became professionals and politicians, thanks to the change in female status brought about during the war? Meet the controversial woman who pioneered female policing, but rather overdid it.

    Ep 3: Britain Off Its Head
    Nov 17 2022

    Despite the government’s efforts to control drinking and drug abuse, narcotics were widely available, and alcohol was widely abused. Women were at the centre of shocking behaviour over both, and predictably the press was suitably scandalised.  

    We introduce the nightclub queen who employed ‘292 women of the unfortunate class’.

Read by a legend

Stephen Fry is such an amazing and animated narrator. The 20s are an era that I've heard much about, but I have very little knowledge of the details. Learning about Flappers, sexuality the great war, the suffrage movement. To learn more about a fascinating time period is always welcomed, but to hear an interesting tale told by such an impressive and talented person like Stephen Fry, that's a win-win.

I highly recommend these series and the previous two, the Edwardian and the Victorian eras.

Exceedingly entertaining and educational! Stephen Fry and his team always delivers.

Once I finished Victorian and Edwardian Secrets I couldn’t wait for another series. What a great surprise to find the Stephen Fry’s Secrets of the Roaring Twenties. Great writing, entertaining delivery and lots of fascinating historical stories.

The Roaring 20s series is just enjoyable as the previous eras explored. I look forward to what the future holds.

Simply superb.

A pearl of a podcast.
Very informative and entertaining at the same time.
Fry at his best.
A podcast to cherish, to be safeguarded in a museum later on for future generations.
