Episode description

Last year, I had the privilege of a long conversation with 95-year-old Tom McGoran, and hearing his crystal clear memories of life from the 1930's onwards. 

You’ll hear Tom telling me about growing up in Glasgow in the 1930’s, the notorious Razor Gangs of the city, and what he and his pals got up to...

We talk about the realities of World War Two and some fantastic insights into what life was like… 

And we go over some of the funny and fascinating things that happened in the world, the year Tom was born. Listen out for the Joseph Stalin fact-bite… 

And as always, there's plenty more.
