This week we're taking a look at how different societies have dealt with the rearing of children through the ages. From the militaristic upbringing offered by Sparta to coming of age ceremonies from all corners of the globe, plus we check in with 16th century England's version of NHS Direct; “The Boke of Chyldren” by author Thomas Phaer.
Our new feature ONE DAY TIME MACHINE has had our inbox red hot this week. Listener Jo wants to travel back to smash up a certain wet market in 2019, while Stephen wants to head to Dallas in 1963 to set a few extra cameras rolling (potentially getting himself arrested in the process). Let us know where in history you'd like to go for one day and also please fill us in on your time travel rules: hello@ohwhatatime.com
This first series will contain 12 episodes that we’ll be releasing weekly. If there's an episode you'd like to hear, please let us know!
And thank you so much for your support for the podcast since our launch a few weeks ago. If you like it, why not drop us a review in your podcast app of choice? (Thus taking heed of our increasingly desperate pleas for reviews).
