Listen "Life in the Workhouse"
Episode Synopsis
Ever wondered what life was actually like inside a Victorian workhouse? Spoiler: it wasn’t exactly cosy. In this episode, our two amateur historians lift the lid on the daily grind, grim meals, and strict rules that shaped life behind those infamous doors. From workhouse uniforms to gruelling routines, we explore the reality of an institution designed to be more punishment than support—sprinkled, of course, with our usual mix of banter, curiosity, and a dash of dark humour.
