Saturday Morning with Jack Tame

An expansion on her second studio album, Bewitched: The Goddess Edition features four new songs from singer-songwriter Laufey. 

In her own words the album is “a love album, whether it be a love towards a friend or a lover or life”, Bewitched dealing with a variety of romantic themes.  

According to Estelle Clifford it could’ve come straight out of the 1935, an old-school movie quality to the first four songs on the album, the rich jazziness of her complimenting the vibes.

Earth by John Boyne 

It’s the tabloid sensation of the two well-known footballers standing in the dock, charged with sexual assault, a series of vile text messages pointing towards their guilt. As the trial unfolds, Evan Keogh reflects on the events that have led him to this moment. Since leaving his island home, his life has been a lie on many levels. He’s a talented footballer who wanted to be an artist. A gay man in a sport that rejects diversity. A defendant whose knowledge of what took place on that fateful night threatens more than just his freedom or career. The jury will deliver a verdict but, before they do, Evan must judge for himself whether the man he has become is the man he wanted to be. 

The Last Secret Agent by Pippa Latour and Jude Dobson 

This is the astounding true story of one of the last female special operations agents in France to get out alive after its liberation in WWII.  
Born in 1921, Pippa Latour became a covert special operations agent who parachuted into a field in Nazi-occupied Normandy. Trained by the British, Pippa was lauded for her fluency with languages and her coding ability - attributes she put to remarkable use when she posed as a teenage soap-seller, often selling her wares to the German soldiers and sending back information via code to England. 
 
Incredibly brave - Pippa knew she could be instantly shot if her cover was blown - she concealed her codes on a piece of silk that she threaded through a shoelace and wore as a hair tie. She bicycled around the region, often sleeping rough and foraging for food. 
 
During her time in Normandy, Pippa sent 135 secret messages conveying crucial information on German troop positions in the lead-up to D-Day. Pippa continued her mission until the liberation of Paris in August 1944. 
 
For decades, Pippa told no one - not even her family - of her incredible feats during WWII. 
 
Now, for the first time, her story can be told in full.
