This week, Rhiannon has a (probably literal) bone to pick with a certain London-based institution. She discusses the history of museums from ancient times to present day, and goes on several long digressions about related concepts. Topics include public mourning, animals as entertainment, what feels like the entire state of Pennsylvania, and the institutionalized “finders keepers” mentality.
This podcast is produced and edited by me, Rhiannon. Music written and performed by our resident noisemaker, Tay Clarke. Find the show online at www.thatsnicepod.com, or follow our Instagram, @thatsnicepod.
