#54: The Cru Write Churchill: The Irony of Fate

The Cru aspire to write like Winston Churchill, former prime minister and pulp adventure author.  Stories this evening include a tale of a young Churchill, lightly fictionalized; a highschool romance gone awry (as they do); and an absent father. From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable: The irony of fate. A Strange fatality which has brought about something quite the reverse of what might have been expected. By the irony of fate the Ten Hours Bill was carriedin the very session when Lord Ashley, having changedhis views on the Corn Laws, felt it his duty to resignhis seat in Parliament.—The Leisure Hour, 1887. Stories begin around the 13:45 mark.Like this weeks episode and wish you could read as well as listen?
