Broadcaster and musician Mark Radcliffe takes his friend and bandmate Paul Langley to the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester, where they explore how the ‘rainy city’ has been a place of ideas and invention through time. As they take a deep dive into an exhibition about one of Manchester’s most famous outputs, Factory Records, they discuss how the iconic record label is intertwined with the city’s industrial heritage and a long history of creative thinkers, scientists and innovators. 
Notes:  
The exhibition Use Hearing Protection: The Early Years of Factory Records is at the Science and Industry Museum, Manchester, until 3 January 2022.  
This recording features two tracks by Mark and Paul’s band UNE, Folie and Waldeinsamkeit. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Famous faces take their best mate, their mum, their neighbour (whoever they want) for an afternoon at a favourite museum or gallery. As well as getting a peek behind the scenes, seeing what makes a museum tick, it's also the starting point for some great conversations about life, the universe and everything. As well as a chance to eat lots of cake in the cafe.
Meet Me at the Museum is published by Art Fund, the UK’s national charity for art, which raises money for museums and galleries through the National Art Pass – a neat little card that gets you free or reduced-price entry to hundreds of great cultural venues and exhibitions around the country. The podcast is produced by Whistledown. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
