Description
Have you ever briefly looked something up and found yourself interested to the point of distraction, passing into some realm that, once entered, is extremely hard to get out of?  It might be Japan or tennis or Spanish enclaves or Peppa Pig or tax law or Alfred Hitchcock, but the more you look, the further down the Rabbit Hole you go……..if so, you’ve come to the right place.  Welcome to episode one of The Rabbit Hole Detectives, a podcast where Dr Cat Jarman, Richard Coles, and Charles Spencer chase the provenance of historical objects both real and metaphorical. Each episode they set one another the task of finding out as much as they can about a particular subject to present a comprehensive understanding of the origin stories of……stuff. Forensically researched, beautifully observed, and using vast historical knowledge, each episode of The Rabbit Hole Detectives leans in to intelligent conversation and personal anecdote to leave you the listener, extremely distracted. After all, everything has a history. It just depends on how far down the rabbit hole you’re prepared to go.
