English Heritage has an informative podcast hosted by the comedian and podcaster Amy Matthews, which looks at stories tied to the 400 historic sights and 1 million objects it looks after.
It’s not just stately homes and Roman sites under its watch, but also places tied to more recent events. In a recent episode, Amy and English Heritage curator Kevin Booth talk about the York Cold War Bunker, which would have monitored explosions and fallout if nuclear armageddon had actually occurred.
