Just a quick update from Lili and Tom on where the podcast is up to – and why there won’t be any new episodes for a little while! Tom is heading off to sea for the London Theatre at Sea week aboard the Queen Mary 2, followed by a few days in New York. Lili meanwhile is performing this Sunday (17th May 2026) at International Bomber Command in Lincoln. Here are all the the details: https://www.facebook.com/events/international-bomber-command-centre/the-crabapple-club-at-international-bomber-command-centre-lincoln/1212740987641227/https://internationalbcc.co.uk/
Normal service will resume before too long – but in the meantime, now is the perfect time to get in touch. Lili and Tom are hard at work preparing scripts for the rest of Series 2, so if there’s a wartime song you’d love them to cover, a family story connected to one, or a character from the era you think deserves a mention – drop them a line.
