Happy Monday. Welcome to The Brew, where we kick off in (some) style with Robbie McRobbie, who has all the latest from Kai Tak, and a jolly good weekend of local sports. At 12:40, in another true story especially recorded for us by best selling author and historian Paul French, we'll hear part one (of four) of his account of a deadly scandal in the 1920s that stained Italy’s reputation in the 'Far East'. A diplomatic love triangle ignited an international incident that embarrassed not just the Italian nobility, but the country as a whole, in... 'The Mad Marchesa of Peking'. Listen to this (audio only) on Facebook live if you can. Then, we'll catch up with Bureau Chief-at-large Neil Runcieman at 1:25 for all his latest from Vietnam. Catch him on Facebook live as well. Every weekday afternoon from 12:05 until 2... Only on Radio 3
