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.

Absolutely wonderful

This is just such a fascinating podcast. Ruth does such a wonderful job and really brings it to life. I would highly recommend this to anybody who is interested in history but especially interested in the curious things of history and every day life.
Unaffordable

Brash, loud, and artless ads bash you in the head right in the midst of beautiful storytelling, sadly that makes for an abomination when resting. I can understand ads at the beginning or end but not during. Sadly, the price to join for a single show is prohibitive.
Great!
