Episode 181 – Fantastic (Political) Beards and Where to Find Them

Jo is back again this week for the final in Tom & Jo's political trilogy. This time Jo is in the driving seat on a quest to liven things up a bit after the doom and gloom of the past couple of weeks. She presents her list of the top ten political beards from history.

In a sign of things to come, Tom manages to tear himself away from discussing politics to touch upon the politics surrounding the recent shock retirement of Nico Rosberg from Formula One after having just won the World Title. Those of you who aren't F1 fans, fret not, the discussion doesn't last all that long!

If you feel your favourite historical character was snubbed from Jo's list, feel free to contact us at any of the contact details below and we'll have an appraisal!
