@monicalewinsky.bsky.social is launching her own podcast called Reclaiming on Feb 18. If this brilliant piece she penned for Vanity Fair called Shame & Survival back in 2014 is anything to go by, it should be fabulous. Meantime, highly recommend the read.👇👇 www.vanityfair.com/style/societ...

Proud wife moment… Although I’m embarrassed to say I had no idea who Albert Jacka was until Pete started work on this, his latest book - the story of our first (and many say greatest-ever) Victoria Cross recipient. Jacka’s heroism during WW1 will take your breath away. @peterfitz1.bsky.social
