  • Ep 190 Life lessons from Historical Women with very special guest Eleanor Morton
    2024/11/27
    We are slightly overexcited this week, as we're chatting with comedian and writer Eleanor Morton. Her fabulous book of lessons from historical women features many of our favourite women. And a host of, maybe, less familiar ones. From mountaineering and marathons to creating familiar music and much loved characters, we're casting the net wide this week. Who slapped who, and why? Who found adventure in the most dangerous of journeys? How does hiding in a cupboard help anyone? Plus ghosts, tour guiding, the month of Edinburgh, and another potential podcast outing. No animals were harmed in the making of this episode, although Rusty does join in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Ep 189 Camden cures all featuring Elizabeth Garett Anderson
    2024/11/20
    We're taking a stroll through the medical powerhouse that is south Camden and focussing on Elizabeth Garrett Anderson. She's been on the fringes of many an episode - her sister and her daughter have already featured, now she gets the limelight. And boy does she deserve it. She overcame hurdles and jumped through loopholes, even learning another language in her fight to become the first female Dr to practise (while presenting as a woman) in the UK. Her co-founders of the London School of Medicine for Women, were equally determined, playing the establishment at their own game to learn their skills. Inspiring women whose legacy still lurks along the Euston Rd. Plus a miniature distillery in Scotland. Cheers! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Ep 188 The British Empire Exhibition - Baffling displays back in Brent
    2024/11/13
    In a new guessing game Alex tries to pick the material chosen to sculpt the Prince of Wales. 100 years ago the crowds were gathering in Wembley for the extraordinary spectacle that was the British Empire Exhibition. A showcase for trade, manufacturing and, it turns out, people. Problematic? Just a tad. But there was a miniature railway, a palace of engineering, a palace of art including the teeny tiny wine bottles in Queen Mary's Dolls House. And a regular display of destruction of the House of Commons. What's not to like? When the empire was at it's height, but with the cracks beginning to show, an exhibition was bound to be both brilliant and disturbing. Join visitors John Betjeman and Virginia Woolf as we explore the exhibition together. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
