Welcome to The Other Marthas: the show where a drama student and a film graduate try to make sense of things we wish we were qualified in instead, with an emphasis on history, mystery and all things morbid. In today's episode, we find out all about Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Featuring triumphs, disasters, records and excerpts from Amelia's own writings, this is one to listen to if you have a thirst for adventure and need a little Monday morning inspiration.  

Please note: the section from 27:32 deals with the tragic disappearance of Amelia Earhart, along with her flying companion, Fred Noonan. As such, this features speculation regarding the pair's probable fate, involving discussion of distress and death - as ever, listen with caution!
