Planes, (Battle)Ships (by Mail), Lions & Lakes – and Kink

The guys take a break from the grim world news for by far the kinkiest Hidden History Happy Hour yet. Legendary British journalist and documentary filmmaker Willard Foxton join Alex and Bryan in recounting the bizarre exploits of two – count ‘em two – unlikely World War I heroes (one on each side) and Willard shares his own adventures producing documentaries on Top Gun and Kinky Britain, and discusses the latter’s impact on his own dating. Enjoy the levity but listen carefully for echoes of the current horrific war in Europe.
