Meet Jenny Draper, the brilliant mind behind "Mavericks: Life Stories and Lessons of History's Most Extraordinary Misfits."
In this episode, Jenny shares her unique journey from her days as a Viking reenactor in the North of England to the bustling streets of London, trading theatre costume dressing for a vibrant career in history tour guiding and earning a prestigious Blue Badge. Jenny has a knack for making the past feel like juicy gossip with your pals down the pub, and introduces us to historical mavericks from the past.
Engaging us with tales of majestic swans (very much not extinct btw) and eccentric paleontologists, Jenny explores the delicate balance and the art of separating myth from fact in historical narratives. Jenny's passion for history is infectious, as she highlights the challenges of presenting figures like Paul Robeson, whose legacies are as complex as they are impactful.
Jenny shares her innovative use of YouTube and using TikTok during the pandemic, where she captivated audiences with lesser-known historical tidbits. As we explore stories of disruptors like Radcliffe Hall, Jenny offers a fresh perspective on how censorship can unintentionally amplify a narrative. With humour and insight, she encourages us to challenge norms and embrace our creative passions. This episode will leave you feeling excited to explore the mavericks of history with a renewed sense of curiosity.
Mavericks by Jenny Draper will be released on 11th February 2025 but is available to pre-order right now from your preferred bookseller. You can order at the link here.
Find Jenny on TikTok and on Instagram, and on Youtube, or book your own London History tour.
