Summary

On this unlocked Britainology we are joined by Alice to discuss the 1982 Falklands War. Why has it permanently lodged in the psyche of the Boomers? Why do people care about these rocks in the middle of the South Atlantic? Why did a British task force commander decide to explode himself in order to dislodge a machine gun position? You will be able to learn all of this and more by listening. If you want more Britainology, you can get one per month (along with regular bonus episodes) for $5 a month--and if you want 2 a month, you can get them on the $10 tier.
