ironymaideni volunteered to do the last dog walk of the day and let C finish watching his soccer match, which means podcast time.
tonight it was Fiber Nation, on Gunnister Man (there's plenty of text and links on the landing page if you don't feel inclined to listen). basically a beautifully preserved set of wool clothes were found in an isolated peat bog in the Shetland Islands in the 50s; the person who had worn the clothes had rotted away, but the clothes remained. the podcast is the story of the painstaking effort to recreate the clothing for display in a local museum, and what the clothing and its composition can tell us about where this unknown person came from and why they might have been in the middle of nowhere in the first place.
