439 – Lady Marie Galway And Her Husband’s Pipe
Author Susan Neuhaus reveals the astonishing double life of Lady Marie Galway, the German-Bavarian, Catholic wife of South Australia’s most unpopular governor, whose wartime philanthropy built the state’s first Red Cross, with a rare 25-year-old Galway Pipe tawny poured as the South Australian Drink of the Week and a Steve Davis and The Virtuosos original closing out the show. She was a Bavarian baroness, a childhood playmate of Bavarian royalty, fluent in seven languages, and widowed with two children by her early twenties. Somehow she ended up, more than a decade later, presiding over Government House in Adelaide for the entirety of the First World War, married to a man a historian later called the most pernicious governor South Australia ever had. In episode 439, Susan Neuhaus, author of A Woman in a Thousand: Lady Marie Galway, South Australia, and the Great War, sits down with fellow author Lainie Anderson
