This episode the gang are investigating one of the many things looted by the British empire. This particular item has four legs and a mop-like furry body - it’s the Pekingese dog! Their guide? Stuff the British Stole, from ABC and CBC podcasts.
The episode in question is called Best.Named.Dog.Ever. It covers the British looting of dogs and other, inanimate, cultural artefacts from the Chinese during the opium wars. How did the conflict start? What are the lasting cultural impacts? How did these tiny dogs make their way from China to the UK?
We sat down to discuss sound design, story editing, and the importance of picking the right guests, especially when you’re discussing other cultures.
This one is hosted by podcast production manager Elizabeth Amos, who is joined by podcast producers Zoe Anderson and Jackie Lamport, and Audio Engineer Alex Bennett.
