AUDIO TRANSCRIPT
Hi, you're probably here looking for the new episode of the Working Class History podcast. We have released some new episodes, but unfortunately our podcast will no longer be available on SoundCloud because we have moved our podcast hosting. SoundCloud wasn't really giving us what we needed, so we have had to move our podcast elsewhere, and unfortunately unlike most podcast services, SoundCloud doesn't let you listen to episodes hosted on other platforms.
But we would really love to keep you as a listener. So please do subscribe to our podcast and listen on another platform. As far as we know, we are available on just about every podcast app out there. Like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Podcast Addict, Overcast, Stitcher and loads more. You can also listen to episodes on our website at workingclasshistory.com. Our podcast is made possible by our patreon supporters, so all of our episodes are available first on patreon, where there are also lots of exclusive bonus episodes. Check it out and support us at https://patreon.com/workingclasshistory, link in the show notes.
We'll pop links in the show notes to find our podcast on some of the most popular apps. If WCH isn't available on your favourite podcast app, just drop us a line on info@workingclasshistory.com to let us know and we will try to make sure we get on it.
Sorry about this inconvenience, but we hope that you will join us again!

In the next episode of The Scrapbook History Podcast, I speak to Dr Bridget Moynihan about a series of scrapbooks made by the Scottish poet Edwin Morgan. We talk about why he made them, the role they fulfilled in his life, and how we can make sense of them today.

Episode 4 - The scrapbooking poet Edwin Morgan

The Scrapbook History Podcast explores the history of scrapbook making in Britain during the twentieth century. Join me, Cherish Watton, your scrapbook scholar host to explore why people created scrapbooks, how they made them, and what topics inspired them. We'll also talk to people who make scrapbooks, archivists who care for them, and historians like me, who study them.
