Hus supporters adored him and those who hated him feared him. So this is one myth you hardly need to bust! You either change the names if the whole podcast to accommodate departures from “ great” or you edit Mussolini out! It is hard to see him listedalong side Primo Levi for example!! Really not fair and actualky downright inapproprite!!

I really enjoy this type of podcast as I usually listen whilst out on my daily walks. I subscribe to several podcasts abd would definitely rate this as one of the ten I enjoy most. Give it a try - the price is right and you just might learn something interesting.
