Museum Chat Live! E1010 - Supercut 3: Primary Sources

About this episode

This episode features a compilation of favorite moments using primary sources from the podcast.

Throughout our celebration of season 10 we've put together a few "supercut" episodes looking back at some of our favourite moments and episodes. We revisited the series we put together about the history of the bridges of the Welland Canal, and we revisited the series about the Victorians called Victorian Tweets. On today's last episode of season 10, we bring you a supercut compilation of our favourite instances where we used primary sources on the podcast. Using primary sources in this way is fun because we can voice them by welcoming other staff or volunteers to read out the source for our listeners. Additional enjoyment comes from hearing (rather than reading) the source, almost as if we get to meet the person who wrote the source or experienced the event firsthand. Since bringing history to the public's attention is our core purpose, we do use a lot of primary source material on the blog so we chose our four favourite instances. You can hear more by listening to past episodes wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks for listening!
