Featuring: Betwixt the Sheets Podcast

This taster episode is taken from the Betwixt the Sheets podcast, created by our friends over at History Hit.   Betwixt the Sheets looks into the history of sex, scandal and the weirdest, most fascinating areas of society - from the history of cosmetic surgery, to the Profumo Affair, to Henry VIII’s sex life. It’s hosted by sex historian, Kate Lister - and twice a week, every week, she’s joined by an expert. In this taster episode, Kate is joined by writer, actor, and Charles Dickens superfan Miriam Margolyes to discuss everything Dickens and how his relationships with the women in his life influenced his work.

Om Podcasten

Join domestic historian Ruth Goodman as she guides you through the surprising, often epic, stories behind everyday objects in your home. Double-glazed windows? We owe those to a French king’s odd fascination with oranges. The minty fresh toothpaste by your sink? Well, if you lived in Ancient Greece, you’d be washing your teeth with ground-up bones and oyster shells. And wallpaper? It seems innocent enough, but in the Victorian era it was downright deadly. Discover the extraordinary history of the ordinary items all around you, every Tuesday, wherever you get your podcasts.
