In this episode (filmed from our Kentish Town Studio) Charles and Theo talk to author and historian Dr John Woolf where they chat about his new book 'Black Victorians' (hidden in history) which highlights many largely unknown people of colour from the Victorian era.

Dr John Woolf is an Irish-British historian, researcher and lecturer. He was born and raised in North London and graduated from the University of Cambridge, with two scholarships to his name, before winning two further scholarships at Goldsmiths, University of London, where he was awarded his PhD on nineteenth-century history.

They also chat about the tragic story of the Elephant Man - Joseph Merrick, his time at Cambridge University and why his story may not be as simple as we originally thought.
