Whoopsie, we didn't realise we'd accidentally put a filter on that last episode! Here it is with clearer audio. Thanks for everyone's patience!

It's our second episode of Beyond Bridgerton, the interview series while we wait for season 3!

In our second episode, we interview Dr Zoe Chadwick, a medical historian on disability and deformity. We're going back to season one of Bridgerton, where we explore Simon's speech impediment and how he would have been treated by Regency society. In this eye opening interview, Zoe tells us about disabilities in the Georgian and Victorian period such as speech impediments, hearing impairment and physical deformities. We'll discuss Queen Charlotte and King George's mysterious disability, The Bowes-Lyons family from Netflix's the Crown, asylums, freak shows and the difference of treatment between the wealthy and the working class.

Zoe's reccomended books to explore disability throughout history:

Disability Histories by Michael Rembis and Susan Burch

A Brief History of Disability by Molly Seymour
