  • Sound It Out: Leeds Grand Ghosts, Packers and Royalty

    Young broadcasters, poets and musicians created a radio show in 4 days! Inspired by a trip to the Leeds Grand Theatre, featuring Queen Victoria, William Shakespeare and ghosts.

    Queen Victoria and her daughter Princess Alice visits Leeds! They didn't like how it was all dried out, missing fancy buildings and recreational facilities. The city was way too much behind its time. Princess Alice said "It's missing fancy building, no ornate parks and no fancy balls! Nothing like London." Tune in to listen about The Lavender Lady, stage packers, the programming team, Status and class, the Purple Props Lady and more ghosts and stories.
