Hi there, Frank Turner here.

Three things to know about me.

I'm a songwriter, I'm a massive history nerd, and yes, I'm a man.

That last part is relevant because I've written a new album All About Women, called No Man's Land,

12 songs about real historical women, and one song about my mum.

Their stories are fascinating, moving, funny and most importantly, worth sharing and

celebrating. So I've decided to make a podcast called Tales from No Man's Land to help us get to know these people a little bit better.

There'll be an episode for each song with guest musicians, historians, and if she says yes, my mum.

We've got songs about Matahari, a First World War spy,

Huda Shaharawi, an early 20th century Egyptian women's rights activist,

and the godmother of rock and roll herself, sister Rosetta Tharp.

Rosetta rolled her eyes when she played,

she knew that strange things happened every day

And that the white boy hype

Would eventually fade

But the way that she played would remain

The first episode will be out in July

So tune in
