Show Notes

November 2019 
 
In this month’s 2nd episode celebrating the anniversary of the creation of GCHQ, where better to learn more about those 100 years than in the heart of its current Headquarters.
 
We were given special permission to record within the walls of the famous ‘Doughnut’ building in Cheltenham. Our guide to those top secret corridors is GCHQ’s new official Historian David Abrutat.
 
With a century of codebreaking behind them, there is a rich history to dive into and it’s not just about Bletchley Park.
 
The team at today’s Bletchley Park have marked GCHQ’s Centenary with a new display called From GC&CS to GCHQ. We find out about some of the people and stories in the exhibition from Exhibitions Manager and podcast host, Erica Munro.
 
A very special thanks to GCHQ for allowing us to record this exclusive episode.
