Podcast From The Past

MIRANDA KEELING & IAN BECK - They've Had Sir Harold Acton Stuffed

Joining TOM JACKSON to discuss the postcards from their pasts are actor and writer MIRANDA KEELING (The Year I Stopped to Notice) and illustrator and author IAN BECK (The Light In Suburbia, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road). We discover the eccentric postcard messages of Glynn Boyd Harte, consider a family mystery from 1910, learn how to wear the minimum of clothes, and discover a story of loss inspired by an art postcard. Meringues, paths in the grass, disgruntled cats, dolls houses and sunsets. And a card from Uncle Fester - Wish you were here? Hosted on Acast.

In each episode of PODCAST FROM THE PAST, Tom Jackson - who curates the hugely popular twitter feed and book Postcard From The Past - welcomes to the studio two guests, each armed with old postcards they couldn’t bear to throw away. Together, in funny, human and sometimes moving conversations, they explore the memories, mysteries and stories held by those postcards. Hosted on Acast.
