Legacy: Charles Dickens
Wondery, episodes weekly
’Tis the season for settling in and listening to the story of Charles “the godfather of Christmas” Dickens. It’s a perfectly timed choice for the latest subject of Afua Hirsch (below) and Peter Frankopan’s probing biopic series, which looks at the Victorian novelist’s highs and lows. Behind the literary success and work on social reform were bad financial decisions, rumoured affairs and constant battles with his publishers. Hollie Richardson
