PREMIERE: House on James Street: Episode one - Intrepid Fighter for Religious Freedom

Before Barbados had universal adult suffrage, before slavery was abolished in the British Empire, and before religious freedom was protected by law, a free coloured woman in Bridgetown did something dangerously simple: she opened her front door. In Episode One – “An Intrepid Fighter for Religious Freedom” – House on James Street introduces the life and times of the Right Excellent Sarah Ann Gill. We meet Ann Gill as a free coloured woman of property in early 19th‑century Bridgetown, whose home on James Street becomes a sanctuary for persecuted Methodists after white mobs destroy the island’s Methodist chapel and drive out the minister. Drawing on the research of the late historian Professor Pedro Welch, this opening episode peels back the myths to reveal a more complex figure: a devoted Methodist and National Hero who was also part of a free coloured world shaped by slavery, race and property. We set the scene for the series by tracing how Gill’s year under siege – facing threats, gunfire, and legal harassment under the old Conventicle Act – would eventually echo all the way to the Colonial Office in London and the floor of the British Parliament. This episode lays the groundwork for the journey ahead: from the making of a slave society to the rise of a free coloured community, and from a front room on James Street to the heart of imperial power.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
