In this episode we speak to our longtime friend and comrade Jessica Thorne about her work on anarchist prisoners under the Franco regime in Spain.
Jess has recently completed a PhD at Royal Holloway, University of London on this subject, which is also discussed in an article recently published in European History Quarterly, available here.
See also Jess's brilliant article on football and radical politics in Franco's prisons, available via History Workshop here.
