Not a bad start.We even talked about Aidan's musical side hustle, playing the violin nearly as well as Stefan Grappelli.And of course there were many brilliant billboards, starting with some classics for The Economist and VW before the incredible BBC Russia World Cup tapestry … still hanging in the Football Museum in Manchester today.We found out how Aidan worked with our Dan on the ground-breaking Google Front Row campaign that featured the world's first live stream to pitch side hoardings.Then there was Nike ‘The 93', The Migration Museum and the changing of the signage of Coral's betting shops during the last Euro's.Every piece of work has a story, a vibe that makes it feel more than advertising. It's a theme throughout Aidan's award-winning career which includes ‘The Bear and Hare' campaign for John Lewis, which won a Cannes Gold and BBC1's Christmas campaign ‘The Supporting Act' that was one of the Beeb's most successful commercials ever.Aidan thank you so much for coming on and bringing your warmth and creativity to us in abundance! It was a total pleasure.

The UK high street has appeared to be in a near perpetual state of distress since the birth of self-service shopping in the 1950s. Since then, local authorities approving out-of-town developments in the 1970s, the rise of the supermarket, the internet and the recent Covid lockdowns, have all taken their toll on town centres. Adam Rutherford talks to three guests about the changing nature of the high street.Annie Gray explores the long and varied history of shopping districts in The Bookshop, the Draper, the Candlestick Maker, from medieval marketplaces to the purpose-built concrete precincts still standing today. The urban designer and strategic planner Vicky Payne believes the high street is far more resilient than people think. Her research has looked at the innovative work being done across the country, from Bournemouth to Barnsley, to revitalise town centres. And the food writer Angela Hui shines a light on the central role that migrants have played – from running corner shops to restaurants. Her Chinese takeaway installation, inspired by her experiences growing up behind the counter of her parents' business in Wales, forms part of the All Our Stories exhibition at the Migration Museum, Lewisham Shopping Centre, until December 2025.Producer: Katy Hickman

There's no one universal story of COVID times. As much as it was a global pandemic, it was also a local story. For the town of Bega, the impacts of Covid on a local scale were intertwined with the devastation of bushfires. This story comes from an episode of ‘Hope Loss Resilience' a podcast series produced by local audiomaker Craig Garrett as part of the Bega Valley Shire Library's Talking Together oral histories project. Listen to further episodes: Hope Loss Resilience Podcast Craig's collaborated with organisations including the Migration Museum and Speaking Volumes (UK); the CBAA (Community Broadcasting Association of Australia); the Digital Writers' Festival (Melb); Ranu Welum (Indonesia); the QLD Poetry Festival, Vulcana Women's Circus and House Conspiracy (Bris); and Noted Festival (Canberra).

Understandings of migration are invariably reduced to immigration, framed by the policy agenda of receiving states. But what about the people who leave? And why does it matter that we remember, as French-Algerian sociologist Abdelmalek Sayad stressed, that ‘every immigrant is also an emigrant'?   From the role of emigration in the making of the British empire and other European colonial powers to its neglect in public and political conversations about migration today, this episode explores what is opened up when we turn the spotlight onto those leaving the sovereign territory of a nation. Elena Zambelli explains what we mean when we talk about emigration. Mukti Jain Campion, founder of the independent production company Culture Wise, reminds us of the relationship between emigration and the making of the British Empire. Nando and Michaela reflect on why we need to talk about emigration today. We look into how states engage with emigration from its role in net migration figures through to policies and concerns over brain drains. And we turn to consider who is leaving Britain today, drawing on what British citizens and EU nationals taking part in our research told us about the significance of Brexit to their emigration decisions.   You can access the full transcripts for each episode over on our website Who do we think we are?   In this episode we cover …    Emigration and colonisation  Leaving Britain today  Brexit and Brits Abroad  Active listening questions   Do you have any family members who have emigrated from their country of origin?

Britain continues to be a major source of emigrants in the 21st century – not something we often hear about. So why do people leave the UK now and which countries do they choose to settle in? And how is emigration today affected by Britain's colonial past? Mukti Jain Campion talks to sociologist Professor Michaela Benson of Lancaster University who studies modern British emigration and hears from a range of British people currently living abroad.

Britain is unique in its long history of exporting its own children. In the early 17th century poor children were often rounded up on the streets of London and put on ships to the new American colonies. Well into the 20th century there were official government schemes sending young children out to settle in former colonies such as Canada and Australia with the promise of a better life. While some children were fortunate enough to do well in their new country, for thousands of others the forced migration was a profoundly traumatic experience of family separation, neglect and abuse. Mukti Jain Campion hears from two former child migrants who were sent to Australia in the early 1950s without their parents' consent. She also speaks to Margaret Humphreys, founder and director of the Child Migrants Trust which was established to support former British child migrants reunite with their families and asks what lessons can be learned from their experience? Warning: this episode contains personal accounts of child abuse that listeners may find distressing A Culture Wise Production for the Migration Museum Producer: Mukti Jain Campion Readings: Adrian Preater Title Music: Shakira Malkani Image credit: Osbert Parker from his video Timeline, as featured in the Migration Museum's Departures exhibition.

This session examines how Britain's colonial and postcolonial history has shaped its understanding of citizenship. Citizenship can be understood as membership of a political community. As such, it cannot be separated from wider political projects of nation and empire. The session shows how colonial and postcolonial immigration shaped the development of what we now call British citizenship, and how national citizenship in Britain is inseparable from postcolonial conceptions of identity and belonging. The session explores how citizenship was introduced into UK law and traces its evolution in response to postcolonial immigration. It concludes with some reflections on contemporary legacies, including the Windrush Scandal.   Reading Gentleman, Amelia. 2019. The Windrush Betrayal: Exposing the Hostile Environment.

When we speak of emigration we tend to think of the people who leave to go abroad. But what about the families and communities left at home?  In 19th century Cornwall this was a pressing question. As the once-thriving local mining industry went into decline, thousands of men left each year to find better paid jobs abroad. They were often gone for years, leaving wives and families to cope alone and rely on remittances that didn't always come. It was an experience shared by thousands of Cornish families over several generations. Mukti Jain Campion speaks to Dr Lesley Trotter author of The Married Widows of Cornwall to find out how these so-called “left behind” wives survived and why their stories are so important to understand the full story of migration. Amanda Drake also shares a poignant letter sent by her 19th century ancestor which gives a glimpse of the heartbreak and struggle that many such wives had to endure.   A Culture Wise Production for the Migration Museum Producer: Mukti Jain Campion Readings: Adrian Preater and Joanna Purslow Title Music: Shakira Malkani The Young Man of Cornwall: Traditional, Cornish words by Anthony Snell, arranged and performed by Dalla Image credit: Osbert Parker from his video Timeline, as featured in the Migration Museum's Departures exhibition.

In May 1865, 153 men, women and children set sail from Liverpool to travel to the other side of the world.  Their dream was to build a new homeland, somewhere they could speak Welsh, govern themselves and pursue their religion and culture without interference. A romantic vision that took them 8,000 miles to the remote Chubut valley in Argentina.   So did their dream of a Welsh utopia come true? And what impact did their arrival have on indigenous people who already called this region home? Mukti Jain Campion speaks to Professor Lucy Taylor of Aberystwyth University who has studied the archives of the Welsh in Patagonia, and Gareth Jenkins who has traced a family from his own village in Montgomeryshire that was amongst the early migrants.

Imagine you could go anywhere in the world – no passport needed. All around you there are posters and pamphlets extolling the virtues of emigration and offering incentives to ease your passage to settle in distant sun-kissed lands. Would you be tempted?  From the early 19th century to the beginning of the First World War, it's estimated that over 10 million British people chose to migrate. Most went to settle in the United States and around Britain's growing empire. Over half of these emigrants left from the port of Liverpool. Mukti Jain Campion talks to Ian Murphy, Director of the Merseyside Maritime Museum, to discover how the port of Liverpool became the gateway to millions of new lives abroad, and examines the importance of printed propaganda in fuelling 19th century British emigration with Dr Fariha Shaikh, Lecturer in Victorian Literature at the University of Birmingham and author of Nineteenth-Century Settler Emigration in British Literature and Art.   A Culture Wise Production for the Migration Museum Producer: Mukti Jain Campion Readings: Adrian Preater and Joanna Purslow Music: Shakira Malkani Shanty Singers: Mary Keith, Peter Brown and David Wells-Cole   Image credit: Osbert Parker from his video Timeline, as featured in the Migration Museum's Departures exhibition.

The 17th century colonisation of North America and the Caribbean by emigrants from the British Isles was, almost from its beginning, dependent on the brutal forced transatlantic migration of millions of enslaved African people. Their labour made possible the industrial-scale production of lucrative crops such as tobacco, sugar and cotton which created the wealth, not just of individual British plantation owners, but of much of the wider British economy.  Much of this history has remained hidden and only very recently have serious attempts begun to investigate and acknowledge the role that slavery played in Britain's wealth, power and influence. But what if those investigations lead to your own front door and start to shatter your family myths? Mukti Jain Campion explores this dark strand of British emigration history with: Professor Matthew Smith, Director of the Centre for the Study of the Legacies of British Slave-ownership at University College London Madge Dresser, Honorary Professor of History, Bristol University and author of Slavery Obscured Oliver Colegrave and his father Stephen Colegrave, co-founder of the Byline Times Sally Hadden, Associate Professor of History, Western Michigan University and author of Slave Patrols: Law and Violence in Virginia and the Carolinas   A Culture Wise Production for the Migration Museum Producer: Mukti Jain Campion Readings: Udoka Oyeka and Adrian Preater Music: Shakira Malkani   Image credit: Osbert Parker from his video Timeline, as featured in the Migration Museum's Departures exhibition.

Since the 1960s, large numbers of people have come to Britain from the Indian subcontinent. But for the preceding 350 years almost all migration was in the other direction. From the beginning of the 17th century when the first ships of the English East India Company set sail from London, India was seen as a place of fabulous wealth where huge fortunes could be made. As the Company's trading posts around India flourished and the Company gained ever more political control, competition for Company jobs became intense. Tens of thousands of men from Britain ventured out to live an expat life in a country that was completely different to anything they had previously known. Most never returned. Mukti Jain Campion speaks to historians William Dalrymple, Professor Rudrangshu Mukherjee, Dr Kate Teltscher and to Gurminder Bhambra, Professor of Postcolonial and Decolonial Studies at the University of Sussex to find out more about the Company men who went to India and how their actions brought profound change for both Britain and India.   A Culture Wise Production for the Migration Museum Producer: Mukti Jain Campion Readings: Adrian Preater Music: Shakira Malkani   Image credit: Osbert Parker from his video Timeline, as featured in the Migration Museum's Departures exhibition.

Women are largely hidden from the history of early English emigration. But if you look hard enough you can sometimes catch glimpses of their stories in the archives. For example, in the early 17th century shiploads of young women were despatched to America by the Virginia Company of London.  It was hoped they would marry the English planters in Jamestown and help grow the new colony. But who were these young women prepared to travel thousands of miles across the ocean in search of a husband? And how did they fare? Mukti Jain Campion talks to Jennifer Potter, author of The Jamestown Brides: The Bartered Wives of the New World.   A Culture Wise Production for the Migration Museum Producer: Mukti Jain Campion Readings: Adrian Preater & Joanna Purslow Music: Shakira Malkani Ballad singer: Mary Keith   Image credit: Osbert Parker from his video Timeline, as featured in the Migration Museum's Departures exhibition.

Mass emigration from England first took off in the 17th century with the colonisation of America and the Caribbean. The number of people leaving the shores of England was huge and unprecedented. Mukti Jain Campion speaks to historian James Evans, author of Emigrants: Why the English Sailed to the New World and to American historian Professor Linford Fisher to find out how those early English settlers fared and how Native Americans responded to the incursion of their lands.   A Culture Wise Production for the Migration Museum Producer: Mukti Jain Campion Readings: Adrian Preater and Wilf Skerry Music: Shakira Malkani   Image credit: Osbert Parker from his video Timeline, as featured in the Migration Museum's Departures exhibition.

Departures is a new podcast from the Migration Museum exploring 400 years of emigration from Britain. Episodes will launch fortnightly from Thursday 26 November.   What would it take for you to leave your home? To leave everything and everyone you know to move to another country and start again. Over the past 400 years, that's exactly what millions of British people have been doing. Today, the news headlines are full of stories of migrants trying to come to Britain. But for most of this country's history, it's actually been the other way round. And Britain's emigration rate remains one of the highest in the world. Why has such a small island nation produced so many migrants and how have they shaped the world we live in today? In a new podcast series Mukti Jain Campion speaks to people who are shedding new light on this often hidden history.   A Culture Wise Production for the Migration Museum Producer: Mukti Jain Campion Title Music: Shakira Malkani Graphic design: Roland Williams Image credit: Osbert Parker from his video Timeline, as featured in the Migration Museum's Departures exhibition.

A Talking History Online panel discussion featuring Jim Hammerton (La Trobe University, Melbourne), Moya McFadzean (Museums Victoria), Jan Coolen (featured in the exhibition 'British Migrants: Instant Australians?', and Mandy Paul (Migration Museum). Between 1947 and 1981 nearly 1.5 million Britons migrated to Australia, seduced by promises of sun, surf and a better life. Most of the newcomers came on assisted passages, part of the Australian Government’s pursuit of a white, British, nation. This group of migrants were simultaneously everywhere and invisible, expected to become ‘instant Australians’. But the reality of migration is never that simple. The exhibition 'British Migrants: Instant Australians?', developed by Museums Victoria, and currently on display at the Migration Museum in Adelaide, explores the personal experiences and historical and contemporary impacts of British migrants in the postwar decades. The exhibition features stories told by children, teenagers and families, labourers, adventurers, returnees, musicians, and even a snake dancer – brought to life through compelling digital animation. This unique panel discussion unpacks these stories. This free public lecture is part of the History Trust's Talking History series.

From acting at Pebble Mill to reading the news on Radio 1, delivering the shipping forecast on Radio 4 and playing rude songs on Radio Trent, this is the life of velvet-voiced Bill Bingham.  In this hour of #radiomoments ‘Conversations’, Bill tells of his early years in drama and his accidental arrival at the BBC’s new radio station in Birmingham. He relates tales of the birth of Liverpool’s Radio City and the transfer to Nottingham’s Radio Trent, where he hosted a variety of shows as the station re-invented itself. Poached by neighbouring Radio Nottingham where he was heard delivering more news and talk content, he recalls how he was quickly transferred to Radio 1’s Newsbeat. Once in London, Bill was then to be heard on Radio 4 delivering the news and shipping forecast in his impeccable fashion - skills he was later to put to good use at such places as IRN, LBC and Sky News and Channel 4. As he recalls, his love for music and the arts was feasted again during his spell at Saga Radio in the West Midlands. Bill speaks too of the challenges of the job and the costs broadcasters like him have paid – and explains his passionate work for the Migration Museum. In his own words – this is the life of Bill Bingham.

Dr Nikki Sullivan and Amy Dale presented on 20 November 2018 'Greetings From ...' The Migration Museum exhibition 'Greetings from…' celebrates the power of souvenirs, from the poignant to the marvellously kitsch and eccentric. Souvenirs are often seen as insignificant trinkets, yet they play an important role in memory-making, how we see ourselves, and our relationships with people and places. In this talk curators Dr Nikki Sullivan and Amy Dale speak about the treasured keepsakes that migrants have brought with them across the world, alongside familiar mementos of holidays, love tokens and artworks that turn the idea of a souvenir on its head. This free public lecture was part of the History Trust of South Australia's Talking History series. For upcoming events visit: history.sa.gov.au/whats-on/events/
