The Devil's Porridge Museum podcasts

The Devil's Porridge Museum (www.devilsporridge.org.uk) at Gretna, which "commemorates HM Factory Gretna, the largest munitions factory in the world during the First World War and explores the stories of the Solway Military Coast during the Second World War and beyond", has released its first podcast during the coronavirus lockdown:

Welcome to the Devil’s Porridge Museum Podcast!

The Devil’s Porridge Museum Podcast has been created as part of an inter-generational oral history project. This project is now available for you to listen to online.

Through conversations and interviews, our volunteers and others from the local community will be sharing their personal stories and memories with the Devil’s Porridge Museum Podcast team.

This podcast features one of the museum’s newer volunteers Nicola Bogle in conversation with Danny Muir about his experiences as a volunteer across the 3 different sites of the Devil’s Porridge.

More episodes will follow over the coming weeks, so please come back and listen to more instalment throughout the summer.

If you would like to get involved with the project to share your own stories and memories or if you would like to find out more about joining our production team please contact Steven@devilsporridge.org.uk
