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

Sex & Shopping

From facilitating affairs to public facilities, how has shopping changed our lives? And where did the one-stop shop, the palace of splendour and opportunity that is the department store come from? Kate talks to Erika Rappaport about the birth of shopping culture, the mark that department stores have had on our everyday lives and how exactly women could have their husbands sent to jail by buying an expensive sofa. *WARNING There is some fruity language in this episode* Produced by Charlotte Long and Sophie Gee. Mixed by Peter Dennis. 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.
