The Curious History of Your HomeAuthor: NOISER
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 kings odd fascination with oranges. The minty fresh toothpaste by your sink? Well, if you lived in Ancient Greece, youd 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.
