This episode of the Alnwick Castle Podcast looks a little more into the academic side of castles and their heritage, as hosts Daniel and Deborah are joined by Iain Wheeldon, senior lecturer in the School of Arts and Cultures at Newcastle University.
Daniel spoke to Iain about the issues facing the cultural sector right now, the importance of castles to the heritage of Northumberland, and what exactly the difference is between heritage and history.
Iain also told us about the Cultural Peeps careers pathway project, a podcast series which features professionals from across the sector sharing their career journeys and insights. If you are trying to get into the world of museums, galleries, heritage, arts or culture, we recommend listening to the series - you can find Cultural Peeps on Soundcloud, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
We recorded in our usual spooky castle tower room, so you may hear some echo.
