    Nov 12 2025
    First up, Professor Wendy Parkins talks about researching and writing her award-winning novel 'The Defiance of Frances Dickinson' - based on the true story (and court records) of a 19th Century English heiress who risked her wealth and reputation seeking to end her brutal marriage - with the patriarchal stacked heavily against her. Then, Beverly chats with social anthropologist Hannah Bulloch about her extraordinary and fascinating family saga 'Overland to The Island' (NZ to Skye with six kids in a home-made house-truck) which her grandparents Alan and Joan MacLeod undertook in the 1960s!
