Episode Synopsis "Episode 1 - Museum of Home 'Stay Home' collection"

Listen to compelling voices about staying home during the pandemic from the Museum of the Home’s Stay Home collection – from how living rooms have been converted into workspaces, schools and gyms to how neighbours have supported each other through illness from COVID-19. This is the first podcast in a series of 8 exploring how the pandemic has changed our relationship to home, a research project involving museums and universities in London and Liverpool. Eithne Nightingale, a researcher at Queen Mary University of London, talks to Danielle Patten and Veronique Belinga from the Museum.

With thanks to all contributors and to Jonty Lovell for the soundtrack Blip, a recurring sound he created to reflect the monotony of lockdown life, but also to instil a sense of optimism that things will get better.
