In this episode we explore the history of the throat – including lump in your throat, frog in your throat and, if you’re French, a cat in the throat.

And, finally, we uncover the tale of the funeral mute – a Victorian mourning ritual that’ll leave you speechless.Subscribe to our newsletter to keep up to date with our latest podcasts, videos and events.
