All around the country people are itching to learn about the history of their home.  This is driven by the success of the BBC series 'A House Through Time', which takes a property and over four episodes, explores the lives of some of the people who lived there.  Historian Melanie Backe-Hansen is consultant to that show, and has co-written the book of the series with its presenter David Olusoga. 

In this podcast Melanie chats to fellow house historian Cathy Soughton, about the show, how she got into this line of research, and some of her favourite houses.
