    William Pitt the younger
    Nov 4 2025

    In this episode, we explore the remarkable career of William Pitt the Younger — the man who became Britain’s youngest-ever Prime Minister at just twenty-four. Brilliant, determined, and often solitary, Pitt steered the country through political upheaval, economic reform, and the first battles against Revolutionary France.

    We’ll look at how he rose to power so young, his fierce clashes with Charles James Fox, and the immense challenges he faced as war and revolution swept across Europe. From his ambitious financial reforms to his struggles with King George III, Pitt’s story is one of intellect, pressure, and resilience — a young leader trying to hold an empire together in an age of revolution.

    Join us as we uncover the life, legacy, and lasting impact of William Pitt the Younger, one of Britain’s most brilliant and burdened Prime Ministers.
