Airing on National Make a Difference Day, this thought-provoking episode of Big Blend Radio’s "English Connection" Show features historian and tour guide Glynn Burrows of Norfolk Tours, who explores rebellion through the ages — from Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot to Rosa Parks and the Civil Rights Movement.

Inspired by Guy Fawkes / Bonfire Night (November 5), this conversation looks at how acts of defiance — both peaceful and forceful — have challenged injustice and reshaped society. Discover the stories of Robin Hood, William Wallace, Boudicca, Martin Luther, Wat Tyler, Emily Davison, and Rosa Parks, and what their courage teaches us about freedom, equality, and the power of individuals to make a difference.
