On Friday’s “Behind the Headlines” with St. Louis on the Air, we discussed the week's news from a different sort of angle than we normally do.

This week, host Don Marsh was joined by Lord Alan Watson to talk about the Churchill Museum's award to Sen. John Danforth as well as his take on the British elections, the Trump administration and the political leadership today as compared to Churchill's time.

Watson is a member of Britain’s House of Lords, the former president of Britain’s Liberal Party and  High Steward of Cambridge University. He is also an author and historian of Sir Winston Churchill.
