A whistling woman and a crowing hen are neither fit for God nor men
Soprano and broadcaster Catherine Bott can't help but whistle while she shops! But not so long ago this would have been frowned upon as it was once considered unsuitable for women to whistle. But why? Catherine is joined by John Lucas to discuss the history of whistling and how one woman used it against Germany in World War II
First broadcast on The Whistling Woman, 23 February 2015.
