Episode description
On this weeks episode we explore the folklore that was part of the best years of our lives, or so they say, Playground lore.
From marbles and jacks, to tag and skipping, kicking and kissing whilst not forgetting all the ghost and ghouls that roam the back of the design area, we explore it all with the help of the Opie archive and the brilliant and playful Julia Bishop, Yinka Olusoga and Catherine Bannister from Sheffield University.
Our readings this week come from the wonderful Matt Horne who tells us everything you will need to know about marbles.
Relive those wonderful playground days of having to 'Gull a Plonk' with your best 'dobber'.
Good times. Enjoy!
