About this listen

In the seventh episode of our brand-new podcast series, historian and host Rebecca Rideal is joined by Sick to Death’s very own Dean Paton, as well as experts Dr Deborah Brunton, Julie Mathias, Stephen McGann, Dr David Turner and Dr Jaipreet Virdi. We’ll explore the ways in which the Industrial Revolution transformed public health, brought disability rights to the fore, and wreaked havoc on urban health. Today’s object is a model of smoke damaged lungs.

Written and produced by Rebecca Rideal.

Edited and produced by Peter Curry.

The podcast is brought to you by Sick to Death, an exciting new medical museum in the heart of historic Chester.

Theme music: “Time” by The Broxton Hundred.
