Steven Franklin and the Egham Museum team discuss the important questions surrounding three photos from the collection. With the help of local writer, director, and producer, Rob Valentine, the team talk about these three photos, what they say about life in Egham's past, and how they can be used to tell stories both in the context of a museum and historical fiction. We also spend some time talking to Rob about his creative work, his research process, and what it's like writing scripts for Doctor Who.

Steven Franklin and the Egham Museum team discuss the important questions surrounding a lawn boot.
With the help of our artist in residence, Estella Castle, the team talk about all the recent great work the museum has been doing and have a good old catch-up, following our short hiatus. Estella tells us all about the progress of the #EghamVisions project and more generally about her artistic practice. Oh, and we spend quite a lot of time talking about the lawn boot, asking questions like: how it came to be in the collection? What it is and how it would have been used? And its links to Estella's project and the wider collection.

Unsatisfied with producing the best independent heritage podcast in the UK, the team at Egham Museum has set itself the challenge of winning the My Rode Cast competition.
In order to fit the criteria, we've distilled the spirit of the Oddites podcast down to just 2 minutes! It was a challenge, but our team rose to it and this was what we came up with..
Enjoy!
