[Classic Replay] A Criminal Conversation: Affairs & Divorce in 1920s Ireland

A story from the 1920s that will reshape the way you view our great grandparents lives! Unfortunately, there’s no new show this week, but I wanted to re-share an episode I really enjoyed making two years ago. It'll well worth another spin. In 1920s Ireland, Alice Morton’s marriage breakdown sparked a sensational divorce trial. Accused of adultery, Alice’s sex life was laid bare in court, subjecting her to public humiliation.Her husband sued her alleged lover for damages, treating Alice as property under the law. However rather than endure the shame and exposure, Alice fled and lived in hiding for nearly two years. This podcast tells her story. Sound by Kate Dunlea. Additional Narrations Aidan Crowe & Therese Murray. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
