In our latest episode of Sleep with History we plunge into the tumultuous waters of 1960s Britain and the heart of a political scandal that splintered its establishment - The Profumo Affair. Hear tales of elites clashing with eruptive secrets underneath the grandiosity of power + societal elegance. Understand how the affair fueled a socio-political seismic shift that realigned Britain’s political and societal landscape.
