Hall. Virginia Hall. To celebrate disability awareness month, we pay homage to top spy of WW2, hero to the Vichy Resistance, master of linguistics, espionage aficionado, and all around badass, Virginia Hall. She kicked more Nazi ass than any other spy and with only one leg. Learn about the woman who would give James Bond a run for his money. Her story takes us through the whole of WW2, so buckle in, get your snack, and get ready to learn about the woman who helped create spycraft as we know it, and could apparently make a decent cheese too?! She got all the talents, just all of them.
Due to technical issues this episode may have some minor sound problems and be a little rougher than usual. Our sincerest apologies.
