The Curious History of Your Home - Trailer

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 in the ordinary every Tuesday, wherever you get your podcasts.
