National Treasures with Laura Lexx and Will Duggan episodes

  • The William Morris Gallery with Mark Watson
    After last week's debacle we really needed a nice clean, fun day out somewhere that wasn't awful and Mark Watson PROVIDED! We popped along to Walthamstow to visit the William Morris Gallery and learned about his life and work. Mark Watson is a brilliant writer, comedian and podcaster and we're so grateful for him for coming on our little show. If you aren't already a huge fan - do start watching No More Jockeys. Thanks also to The William Morris Gallery for giving us their permission to visit - we had a brilliant time and thoroughly recommend it to other wallpaper lovers looking for an afternoon of gentle fun. Thanks for listening - enjoy.

  • The Black Country Living Museum with Darren Harriott

    This week, for our final guest episode of the series we take our little bottoms to the Black Country Living Museum to learn all about The Black Country. Named for its industrial past, the area is steeped in rich history and it comes to life at the museum. We had sweeties, fell in love with a mayor and judged parking extremely harshly. Enjoy!

  • Anglesey/Ynys Mon with Kiri Pritchard-Mclean
    This week Laura and Will were invited to Anglesey to sample all that the phenomenal island off the North West coast has to offer. They see a Bronze Age standing stone, a museum dedicated to traditional Welsh life, they have a paddle, Will befriends a dog (sort of) and they visit Church Island: a small island full of graves with an incredible view of the Menai Strait. After all that, they head off for a pint with Kiri to discuss just why she's so in love with the island. If you enjoy the episode, check out our patreon page for an extended version with a full 20 more minutes of content from our day out and chat with Kiri. Just go to patreon.com/nationaltreasures

  • Mid Season Years & Years!
    Hello Treasurers! As some of you may know, Will and Laura produce an extra podcast every week for their patrons. It's called Years & Years and each week they choose a year at random and one researches it just about well enough to badly explain it to the other one. We thought, as we're just a little way over halfway through series 2, that we'd give you another little taster and if you like it, why not get an episode of it every single week into your ears? Just head to patreon.com/nationaltreasures and sign up to the Rambler tier!

  • The Isle of Wight with Shaparak Korsandi
    This week Will and Laura go overseas! Only a small seas, but nevertheless: water was underfoot. They headed to soak up the sights of the Isle of wight on the orders of comedian, author and general lovely human Shaparak Korsandi. On their travels they went to a Stone Age Museum, a donkey sanctuary and Shanklin Chine... as well as looking at the sea and generally getting annoyed with each other. Have a lovely time.

  • Mother Shipton's Cave
    Many many months ago, in our spin off podcast Years & Years (check out patreon.com/nationaltreasures for details) we investigated the year 1488 and came across the birth of Mother Shipton. A prophetess born in a cave in the mid 15th century... it seemed only right, therefore, that we jump in the car and wend ut way to Knaresborough to give the cave a visit.
