Betwixt The Sheets: The History of Sex, Scandal & Society

Death, Dissection & Grave Robbing

Genital warts fashioned into necklaces, teeth harvested from the battlefield and blood vessels eternalised in wax: these are some of the things that you might find inside Edinburgh’s <a href="https://museum.rcsed.ac.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Surgeons’ Hall Museums</a>. But who did they belong to? Kate is talking to Thomas Elliot, head of learning and interpretation, to find out. *WARNING this episode includes themes of an adult nature* Produced by Charlotte Long and Sophie Gee. Mixed by Lewis Mason. Betwixt the Sheets: The History of Sex, Scandal &amp; Society. A podcast by History Hit.

Join sex historian Kate Lister on Betwixt the Sheets as she gets intimate with the stories that would make your history teacher blush. What were the Victorians really like behind closed (bedroom) doors? How did the Black Death favour women in medieval England? And what was Caesar like in the sack?  She'll be bed-hopping around different time periods; from ancient civilisations, to the middle ages, to renaissance and early modern...right up to now. You’ll laugh, you’ll wince, and you’ll ask yourself how much has actually changed. So join Kate Betwixt the Sheets: The History of Sex, Scandal &amp; Society - a podcast from History Hit.
