Little Leaders: Visionary Women Around The World

In a change to previous podcasts, this book is a non-fiction book.
Written by Vashti Harrison, "Little Leaders: Visionary Women Around the World" chronicles in short biographies the lives of many pivotal women in various spheres. But in many cases, because they were women or of colour or both, their legacies were overlooked. These names were then lost to the general consciousness and would never get the recognition they deserved. Many of the names that come up will be new to many but their influence and worldwide reach may amaze you!

SPYWATCH

The next book I'm reading is the Look and Read book "Spywatch", a BBC School series that originally aired in 1996. It starred Lesley Joseph as Miss Millington, a young Russell Tovey as Dennis and Keith Barron as the older version of Norman, who was the focus of the modern day educational inserts. Access to episodes from almost the whole Look and Read canon can be found at  https://www.youtube.com/c/lookandreadtv and you can find out further information about the shows by following their twitter account at https://twitter.com/LookandReadTV

This time I am tackling the novel version rather than the abridged pupil book version.
This means the chapters are much longer, up to 20 mins a chapter.
