Episode 074 - The Iron Lady at 100: Margaret Thatcher's Life and Legacy
Update: 2025-10-09
Description
Highlights of this episode include diving into the grit, controversy, and iron will of Margaret Thatcher - Britain’s first female Prime Minister - on the 100th anniversary of her birth. We’ll explore how a grocer’s daughter from Grantham rose to become the Iron Lady of global politics, and why her battles over unions, free markets, and the Cold War still spark fierce debate today. With festivals, galas, and even an opera marking her centenary, we’ll unpack the woman behind the handbag. Whether you admire her, despise her, or just know her as “the Milk Snatcher,” we’ve got everything you need to sound like the most sophisticated (and slightly snarky) person at your next dinner party.
