Changing Conceptions of Childhood 1870-1914: The York Mount School by Ruby Hogan

This episode explores the intertwined histories of childhood and education through the lens of the Mount School, a Quaker girls’ school in York. Drawing on themes of gender, personal experience, and the future shaping of young lives, the research considers how evolving ideas of childhood shaped education in England. We’ll hear about the school’s distinctive approach to gendered learning, the diary of student Hannah K. Hodgkinson that opens a rare window onto daily life, and how twentieth-century educators designed schooling with adulthood firmly in mind. Together, these threads reveal how conceptions of childhood were not only influential in the classroom but also central to the way education itself was imagined.

The life, letters and legacy of Noel Terry

By Stan Young While the popularity of the ‘Chocolate Orange’ has made Terry’s a well-known name, it is not widely recognised that the company’s origins date back to a York apothecary shop opened in 1767. Here, Noel Terry’s great-grandfather began his career before establishing himself independently as a supplier of lozenges, citrus fruit, liquorice, and boiled sweets. His company later expanded into a high-end catering business and a beloved restaurant, eventually producing quality chocolate that became a national brand exported worldwide. This was the inheritance of Noel Terry (1889-1980), who started working for the family firm in 1911 and eventually became Chairman, retiring in 1970. Meanwhile, he served and was injured in the First World War, oversaw a substantial expansion of the company, built an Arts and Crafts house, and played an active role in York’s civic life. Originally delivered as the Sheldon Memorial Lecture 2025.

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.
