#OTD in 1805, the Royal Navy defeated the combined forces of France and Spain at Trafalgar.
The tactical brilliance, professionalism, technology and training which underpinned Adm Lord Nelson’s stunning victory have driven and shaped the Navy ever since.

In today's @bookclubpodhq we're in St Petersburg in 1848 for an unlikely social media sensation - Fydor Dostoyevsky's novella WHITE NIGHTS.
Why has this tale of loneliness and unrequited love struck such a chord with Gen Z readers? And what does it tells us about Tsarist Russia?
