Tired of history that's all dates, no stories?
You've sat through the dry tour guides. The textbook tone. The teacher who lost the room by lunch. That's the gap Jo set out to fix sixteen years ago, first in Coventry, then Birmingham, Rugby and London.
Social history, told the way the people who lived it would have told it: blunt, funny, occasionally horrifying, never boring. Walks, talks, theatre and workshops that audiences actually remember.
Mum of two girls (13 and 26). Two published local-history books. One simple rule: if the room is glazing over, something's gone wrong, not with the audience, with the storyteller.
