A new episode of In Those Days is out today (after a break of over a year, whoops).

Christina Adams and I are joined by husband of the pod, Lincoln Turner. We discuss Lincoln's grandfather's letters to the editor, published in the Canberra Times in the '60s and '70s and digitised in #Trove.

Was really fun talking about Major Eugene Milton Sanchez who was a big character who had big adventures.

It was also great to record in State Library Victoria's podcast studio - it's so nice in there and it's free! Almost don't want to tell people about it, because everyone will be there.

An Australian man who I know very well worked at Windsor Castle in the early 1980s. In general the man, Bill, is an admirer of the English royal family, but one story is different: one day Bill was riding one horse and leading another horse through a dark archway, when he inadvertently got in the path of Prince Charles, and Bill was a bit startled and was slow to remove his hat and say “Good morning, your majesty”. Charles blurted out “You bloody Australians are all alike!” #AustralianRepublic
