The Gallimaufry
Two lovers of the past look at the weird, the wonderful and often overlooked bits of history. Gallimaufry means a confused jumble or collection of things and that basically sums us up. Crafted lovingly in a carpet shop basement. New episodes every month.
(We are not the pub in Bristol, but happy to hear music acts who wish to perform with us.)

Operation Mincemeat

Ah the life of a spy. Fast cars, strange gadgets, glamorous women and....er corpses. Well one corpse to be precise. Hear the unbelievable and outrageous tale of Operation Mincemeat, the successful plan to disguise the Invasion of Sicily from Adolf and his gang, all using a phoney set of orders planted on a soldiers body. And it was basically lifted straight from a dodgy spy novel you could read in most bookshops, which apparently was all the criterion you needed to be in espionage back then...
