  • S2 Interview 3 Anne McDonald on a Lady’s Diary of Confederation
    Mar 20 2023

    This week Anne McDonald joins the pod to talk about her book Miss Confederation: The Diary of Mercy Anne Coles. The diary is one of the very few documents written by a woman to talk about the events of Confederation - in this case the Quebec Conference of 1864 and the weeks after. It gives us John A and Leonard Tilley as widowers on the make, along with plenty more intriguing details.

  • S2 Interview1 David Wilson on the Fenians
    Dec 27 2022

    This week we kick off our bonus interview episodes by welcoming University of Toronto professor David Wilson to talk about everyone's favourite Irish revolutionaries (who also happened to profoundly shape Canadian history) the Fenians.

    Wilson's new book Canadian Spy Story: Irish Revolutionaries and the Secret Police is a dual history of the Fenians and also very much about the rise of Canada's first secret police to infiltrate Fenian networks in the 1860s. It's a magnificent feat of academic research and Hollywood-esque story-telling.
