For a special episode, Huw is joined the writer and filmmaker Juliet Jacques to discuss Colonel Victor Barker.\xa0\n\xa0\nAs a military nurse, ambulance driver, kennelman, horse trainer, fascist, car salesman, thief, and actor, Colonel Victor Barker was the embodiment of early 20th century\xa0upper-class British masculinity. But he became famous after his trial and imprisonment for committing perjury\xa0on his marriage certificate to his wife \u2014because Victor Barker was assigned female at birth. Juliet\xa0and Huw explore his life, and the questions it raises around gender identity a century ago.\n\xa0\nSOURCES:\n\xa0\nCollis, Rose.\xa0Colonel Barker's Monstrous Regiment: A Tale of Female Husbandry, Boston: Little, Brown Book Group, 2001\xa0\n\xa0\nZagria.
