Stephen Fry's 7 Deady Sins - I will take each one of the Seven Sins in turn, lay them out on the surgical table and poke, prod, pry and provoke in an attempt to try to anatomise and understand them; I hope and believe it will be, if nothing else, delicious fun and something of a change from the usual run of podcastery.

As Hitler’s army advanced through Western Europe in the spring of 1940, Democratic President, Franklin D. Roosevelt was faced with an extremely serious situation. He was keenly aware of the need for the United States to confront global fascism, yet he also knew the overwhelming sentiment of the American people at that time was one of isolationism. As a result of the horrific losses suffered during the country’s involvement in WWI, most Americans feared entanglement in another foreign war. In this episode of Your History Your Story, we will be speaking with author, Peter Shinkle about his recently released book, “Uniting America: How FDR and Henry Stimson Brought Democrats and Republicans Together to Win WWII.” Peter will tell the story of how FDR took huge political risks by nominating two prominent Republicans to the positions of secretary of war and secretary of the navy in order to unite the country in a concerted effort to defeat the enemies of freedom and democracy.
