... and now we can get started for REAL! :-D

Season 2 of our Mitford Podcast is here! This is what we originally set out to do, here at Raiders of the Lost Archive: a proper good deep dive into the infamous Mitford Sisters, brushing the dust off all their eccentricities, their highs and lows, their challenges, set-backs, and insane stories, their lives, loves, and scandals.

We’ll start completely from scratch - no need to know anything about the Mitfords or the show Outrageous.

We'll bring it all to you with our insatiable curiosity about how their lives were shaped by ALL (!) major events in world history - or was it the other way round?

Listen to our new season on The REAL Mitfords - and you’ll find out!

Dear listeners and viewers, we’re so glad you’re joining us again as we delve deeper into the world of outrageous MITFORD stories - and into the brand new UKTV / Britbox series “OUTRAGEOUS”!

This is what we’ve been waiting for! The second episode of the UKTV / Britbox show Outrageous is out: “Girl on the Rebound”.

And with it, the second podcast episode where Lyn and Judith review the episode and find out how it stacks up to the real life of the Mitfords.

Will we have some outrageous and juicy details for you? - Of course! It’s virtually impossible to not have any “wait… what?!?!” moments with the Mitfords. - And when Adolf Hitler gets into the mix, there are some bits not even Lyn was prepared for ;-)

Now pop on your headphones and join our virtual campfire for some Outrageous Mitford stories :-D
