About Everything But A Beach
We love creating podcasts about the history of Manchester, England.
Discover fascinating stories from Manchester’s past in this podcast.
Dr Dean Kirby, author of best-selling book, Angel Meadow: Victorian Britain’s Most Savage Slum, and journalists Chris Osuh and Yakub Qureshi delve into offbeat, hidden and unreported stories from the past.
Our series explores the lives of heroes, villains, pioneers and visionaries who created the world’s first modern city – giving birth to new ideas, technologies and social movements.
It’s the tale of how a city partied, dreamed and experimented its way through 2,000 years – as well as the loves, lives and struggles of ordinary people who give the city its indomitable character.
