This week I chat with historian and podcaster Anouska Lewis to talk about her latest show ‘Hometown Boring’, what it meant to delve into the history of her home, and the memories and people that she associates with that home.

We cover her obsession with nostalgia and of making sure that the present is memorialised day by day, before moving on to construct her dream library - a dream open space that couples modern classics with ancient craft.

Listen on for conversation pits, turrets, and stained glass windows standing over a cityscape on one side, and a rolling pastoral landscape on the other.
