More Rosebud - Gyles's Diaries episode 40

About this episode

Gyles shares action-packed stories from his diaries covering significant events in 1974 and 1975.

An action-packed edition of Gyles's diaries, from 1974 and 75. Gyles masquerades - very convincingly - as the European Monopoly Champion, and wows the crowds in New York City. He tosses the world's smallest pancake live on television. Margaret Thatcher is elected Leader of the Conservative Party, and on the domestic front, Gyles and Michele become parents for the first time. It's a momentous year, and it's why the Rosebud Family love tuning in on Tuesdays for Gyles's diaries!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
