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.

Once proclaimed “The Eighth Wonder of the World”, the iconic Brooklyn Bridge was constructed between 1869 and 1883 to span the East River and connect what used to be the two independent cities of New York and Brooklyn. Applying masterful engineering, fortitude and determination, Chief engineers John and Washington Roebling used new technological innovations to plan and build what is now one of America’s greatest National Landmarks. In this episode of Your History Your Story, we will be speaking with historian, Jeff Richman, author of “Building the Brooklyn Bridge”. Jeff will share stories about challenges, victories and disasters encountered by the engineers and thousands of skilled and unskilled laborers who toiled for fourteen years to build the great Brooklyn Bridge.
